Description
Upon first learning they have developed the condition, many atherosclerosis sufferers are left with a sentiment that may feel something like this:
“Okay, I know I need to make some drastic changes in my life, but I don’t really know what I need to do specifically to start, apart from taking my medications, exercising, and cutting down on junk food.â€
The stress and worry caused by the diagnosis may magnify a sense of dread, hopelessness, guilt, or powerlessness. Unfortunately, many well-meaning doctors are worsening the issue. A patient, who is literally desperate for health guidance often receives extremely vague dietary instructions upon their release:
“You need to cut down on your sugars and fats.â€
“Try to eat lean white meats, and add more vegetables.â€
“No more fast food, no more fried foods, no more candy.â€
While these one-liners contain some elements of helpful wisdom, I believe that in most cases, offering this kind of advice does more harm then good. I know from simple observation that most patients simply go home and continue their former ways while adopting a few, short lived, mild variances to their dietary regimen. I believe that when a person is diagnosed with a life threatening condition that is caused mainly by diet, they need very clear instructions concerning what to do. No doctor would write a prescription that read: Take a few of these white pills here and there, and then, if you feel like it, pop a blue one. Why is it permissible to give such advice regarding diet? Diet is as integral to health as the medications prescribed. It isn’t enough to simply cut out a few bags of potato chips, switch to diet soda, and refuse an occasional dessert. You need to have a clear outline on exactly what to do to give yourself the best odds of restoring your health. You need a strategy.
