Question:
Does anybody have the complete diet from the Heart Institute of Birmingham, AL? Please send!
Answer:
There is no Heart Institute cardiac diet. This is just a repeat of the Sacred Heart or the Miami Heart, etc birmingham 3 day diet plan that has been promoted over and over again for the use of cardiac patients to have quick weight loss prior to surgery. And over and over again we in a.s.d. have pointed out that it is basically a 900 kcal/day menu, it doesn't help anyone learn basic healthy eating habits that help in weight management, and it is not supported, promoted, or even provided by any cardiac program in any hospital in the US. In fact, it is completely inappropriate for anyone facing major surgery to embark and any weight loss diet. The process of losing weight puts the body in a negative caloric and nutrient balance resulting in decreased immune function and slows the ability to recover from any major surgery. However, if you are still intent on trying this plan, go to Deja News and use the key works Heart Diet to find previous postings of this menu in a.s.d.
