To minimize weight gain, patients are placed on a calorie-restricted, low-carbohydrate, low-sodium diet. All patients are placed on calcium (1500 mg per day) and vitamin D (400 to 800 IU per day) supplementation to minimize bone mineral loss.[9] Bone density is measured at baseline and, if satisfactory, every 6 months.
