They should reap nice benefits for you over the long-haul. It is very nice that you are in accord about the changes. It can be hard when there is only one of you who is interested in making a change. I wish you the very best luck with lowering your cholesterol.The Pliershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09877106616685886293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-13508880605861202582010-08-16T19:29:13.483+02:002010-08-16T19:29:13.483+02:00Hopefully they are not red meat fanatics ;-)

The friends we have been seeing most of since we started are also on a non saturated fat regime and hardly drink so they've just been pleased to be somewhere where it's catered for.<br />This week we have some old friends and also the kids coming so no alcohol will be more difficult. The rest of the diet things aren't a problem.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944155516559194389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-19780723942872516922010-08-16T10:15:38.959+02:002010-08-16T10:15:38.959+02:00Does it make it difficult when you have guests who...Does it make it difficult when you have guests who aren't on your strict diet?<br /><br />This is not a loaded question since we won't be visiting you for some time ;-)<br /><br />xJuniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10930937754917509956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-27035543463959750722010-08-13T21:07:47.328+02:002010-08-13T21:07:47.328+02:00I can remember going to the grocer when first sett...I can remember going to the grocer when first setting up home and ordering a large tin of olive oil...the only alternative to tiny bottles obtained from a chemist.<br />The delivery man...yes, it was that long ago...asked me sympathetically if we had a lot of problems with our ears.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-48818176791255422502010-08-13T17:07:14.849+02:002010-08-13T17:07:14.849+02:00I thought my diet was a bit unhealthy, but reading...I thought my diet was a bit unhealthy, but reading about your changes has made me think it's not so bad. The only meat I eat is chicken. And I use olive oil for baking instead of any other fats. I do love puddings and cakes but I've cut these out recently and eat fruit instead. And I only ever drink alcohol when I visit the UK...my once every 6 months treat!<br /><br />Keep up the good work, and I hope the results show in the tests.Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-51475029825073630202010-08-13T16:35:27.016+02:002010-08-13T16:35:27.016+02:00It is interesting.

Would that be to do with the butter going rancid in the heat maybe?<br /><br />Certainly in my mother's time, olive oil was something that you bought at Boots the Chemist but I can't think what medicinal use it must have been apart from softening ear wax? But we had a huge bottle under the sink in the kitchen. (I think it was because it was too big to fit on the shelf, not for any cleaning purpose!)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944155516559194389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-65124385445738024992010-08-13T14:37:25.436+02:002010-08-13T14:37:25.436+02:00I know it was an enforced change, but it does soun...I know it was an enforced change, but it does sound interesting...my mother had lots of australian recipes using oil rather than butter in baking and that was long before anyone thought about cholesterol, so I don't know what all that was about, but I've resurrected a few and, not being a great baker, they seem to work better for me.the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-19065735734578770762010-08-13T13:08:10.141+02:002010-08-13T13:08:10.141+02:00Yes.

I saw an article in the newspaper last week of a 7-year study on people who ate low-fat versus people who ate low-carb diets. Surprisingly, those who ate low-carb diets had better cholesterol results, including a high number for the good cholesterol. I'm trying to eat proteins, fruits and veggies for a few weeks. Maybe I'll do that until my doctor's appointment and let you know if it lowers the cholesterol. Good luck.Paulitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611117766982930997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298010393460618333.post-8203642420794863982010-08-13T12:38:36.353+02:002010-08-13T12:38:36.353+02:00Forgot the 0% fromage blanc instead of anything cr...Forgot the 0% fromage blanc instead of anything creamy/creme fraichey/yoghurtyRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944155516559194389noreply@blogger.com
