Carbohydrate intake symptoms and conditions

I've known several individuals that have been on prednisone and they changed their diet to counter the side effects of "moon" face & weight gain. In short this is what they did: males, reduce caloric intake to 1500 cal/day by eating five 300-calorie meals a day (every 4 hrs), limiting carbohydrate intake to 30g "net" carbs per day, and limiting sodium intake to 500mg per day. Females, reduce caloric intake to 1200 cal/day by eating four 300-calorie meals per day, limit carb intake to 30g "net" carbs per day, and reduce sodium intake to 500 mg/day. The idea behind the diet is that the frequent small meals will fight off hunger and weight gain while limiting sodium will counter fluid retention.

Hello,

I read about how YAZ birth control pill affects the body and psych and I am now scared. This is my 2nd day of YAZ (I've never been on birth control pills ever and I am 27 years old), it's all new to me but after reading all these negative posts about Yaz I don't know what to do. Before the birth control pills, I was depressed, annoying, serious weight problems - 210 lbs :~~((, low energy, low libido, always tired, terrible migraines every 2nd day, ridiculously increased appetite and excessive hunger, hair where it shouldn't be, menstrual blood clots, excessive cramping etc
I have all these problems for 3 years now and now that the family doc. put me on YAZ birth control pill I am even more scared - mainly of more weight gain, it would be a tragedy for me, I am fat enough already and what's worse I can't lose the weight, exercise doesn't help, diet doesn't help, NOTHING. Will YAZ birth control pill worsen my already tragic condition? I just don't know what to do and what to believe ... I appreciate any advice or help you can give me ... Thank You to all!
