A patient with porphyria should avoid changing caloric intake, and limiting carbs.
A high carb, low fat diet is what dietitians recommend.

I have found that staying away from red meat improves my state of well-being, however, eating too many cards have a negative impact on weight

Restricted alcohol, medicaments that are on porphyria - unsafe drug list. Daily sugar and carbohydrates intake is safer way to get away far from hospitals

Eating regular, small meals is important, Consuming good carbohydrates will ensure the right nutrients are consumed to avoid exposure to other diseases such as diabetes etc. Many healthy foods contain carbohydrates as well as unhealthy foods. Choose foods that have good nutritional value, such as fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid foods that have low nutritional value, such as carbonated cooldrinks, biscuits or cake , sweets, and other foods that contain high amounts of added sugar.
Heme is a major component of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. It transports oxygen from the lungs to organs throughout the body, and transports carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. Porphyrias are metabolic disorders that occur when the body is unable to properly synthesize heme, though some heme is made, a significant amount remains in an incomplete state.
When the body cannot fully synthesize heme, porphyrins and porphyrin precursors, chemicals that are made during heme synthesis accumulate in the body and disrupt normal functioning.
When the body metabolizes carbohydrates, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (sugar). Glucose suppresses an enzyme used in heme production. For people with acute porphyria, this helps reduce the amount of heme precursors in the blood.

High carbs, lower fat. Wen at attack is beginning a lot of sugar items and high carbs. For some reason the high sugars will dilute the porphyrins in your body. Cabbage is a no-no in high proportions
