Dear Hope
I would recommend that you consult a clinical dietitian (visit the Association for Dietetics in SA Website at: www.adsa.org.za and click on "Find a Dietitian" to find a dietitian in your area), who will help you with a slimming diet that does not hamper your CD4 counts or interfere with your medications. You need an individual diet worked out for you, which is something I cannot do for you over the Internet.
Best regards
DietDoc
