CHOLESTEROL

[umpa]

Jbb sweets are ok if they are the right sweets.Almost all of my sweetsin the fat to skinny  bakery are  heart healthy because of the flours used. I keep most sweets  in the freezer so I dont over indulge.

This really worries me since my total chol is 109.  Too low actually.  I eat a high protein meal plan.

Maybe you should have bloodwork done alex too low is not good..

Whoa, we're getting into some deep scientific stuff here.     All of it is great information.

People need the truth.Doctors and the drug companies put so much bad information out there its crazy!

I freaked out when my doctor said I have high cholesterol. My first thought was "I'm 16 for crying out loud! I'm too young to be old!" In retrospect, I'm not sure if I should bother focusing on this issue (if it even is a issue) before I'm down to a healthier weight. Overall I'm just confused about what to do since I don't have much control over the food in my house; it's not my money that buys the groceries  :/

Have you read the Fat To Skinny book catmedaglia?  That will help you to identify where the sugar is on the table.  My hubs doesn't eat low carb...so I simply prepare meals and only eat the low carb parts.       If we can help any just ask

Hi, catmedaglia!

My cholesterol was really messed up too before I started FTS.

Read about how it changed after I adopted the FTS lifestyle;
