Hi ladibug!

I'm not sure if you should "ignore" your doctor's orders because doctors are generally looking out for your well-being. What I would suggest is to seek a second opinion. Perhaps if you found another doctor that is informed about low carb eating he/she would be better able to give you unbiased advice. Doctors are very knowledgeable, but they can not feel what you are feeling. If you were feeling better (weight loss aside) with the low-carb lifestyle, then I would suggest seeking a second opinion. The same would go for any medical condition. If you knew that there was something really wrong and you felt that you had been given an incorrect diagnosis and/or treatment, it is up to you to speak up. If your doctor does not provide you with a satisfactory solution, then you should seek help elsewhere. It's your health, and you need to take responsibility for it.

Good luck! Go with what feels right.
