Does anyone have any experience with PSC and the Scarsdale

diet or any other low carb high protein diet creating ketosis?

Doesn’t mention

Ketosis, but this study (came out this week), is an interesting study on fat,

diet and liver disease……

Low-carbohydrate diet burns more excess liver fat than low-calorie diet,

UT Southwestern study finds. People on low-carbohydrate diets are more dependent on the oxidation of

fat in the liver for energy than those on a low-calorie diet, researchers at UT

Southwestern Medical Center have found in a small clinical study.

,

My Doctors Just put me on a Low Oxalate Diet. SInce starting it I

have lost 10 pounds and I am eatin a lot. Apparently this is a

kidney, intestinal, liver and connective tissue friendly diet. It is

hard to follow though. If you interested in it I have put a link to

some information below. I just got the cookbook in the mail

yesterday that they discuss on this link so I am hoping it will get a

little easier.

Hi ,

I was on the Atkins diet in 1998 after

having been diagnosed with PSC in 1990.  I did not have any adverse effects and

did lose a bunch of weight.

Does anyone have any experience with PSC and the Scarsdale diet or any other low carb high protein

Ketosis (pronounced

/kiËˈtoÊŠsɪs/)

is a state characterised by elevated levels of ketone

bodies in the blood, occurring when the liver converts fat

into fatty

acids and ketone bodies (which can be used by all of the body for energy as

an alternative to glucose). These ketone

bodies are a by-product of the lipid metabolic pathway after the fat is

converted to energy.

Just before I was diagnosed with PSC &

UC I went on the Scarsdale

diet and was very successful in losing weight. In 1999 when I had my

colectomy I lost about 25lbs after the surgery due to complications including

strictures and dehydration and I was very thin. I have since gained all

of the weight back plus some and I can't seem to lose weight (I guess that means

my PSC is under control?). I'm looking for a way to drop 20 lbs without

back when I went on the Scarsdale diet the first time was what caused

my PSC symptoms to surface and my eventual PSC diagnosis.

Typically, those with PSC do better on low fat, low (animal)

protein diets.  As I understand it, the Atkins diet is high fat, high protein,

low carbohydrates, and typically results in high cholesterol, which is a

problem for PSCers anyway.  I have no personal experience with it.
