General Questions / High Cholesterol
« on: May 23, 2015, 08:15:14 AM »
I've been on FTS for close to a year, not totally a stickler but trying my best.  I really like FTS and like that I'm not hungry all the time like I used to be.  However, yesterday I got a biometric screening done which includes cholesterol.  Well, mine is 260 (higher high), HDL is >100 (ideal).  Triglycerides are < 45 (optimal).  My glucose is normal at 091 and my blood pressure is normal 100/062.  I'm going to consult my doctor on Tues., but I am really concerned about my high cholesterol.  I try to eat lean meats and vegetables but do eat a great deal of cheese and eggs.  I don't exercise.  My husband says this diet is bad for me and I need to stop.  What's your advice?

General Discussion / stomach issue questions
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:29:55 AM »
I've been on FTS since July and I've had success.  However, now I'm experiencing stomach problems (stomach pains & aches, diarreah).  My husband thinks it is because I don't eat any grains.  Has anyone else experienced stomach problems?  I do eat fiber with fruits & vegetables but that's all.  I do take a multivitamin but maybe I need to take others.  I guess I should consult my doctor.  I've tried the low carb tortillas but rarely eat them or other grains.  Any suggestions?
