I just came back from the doctor and I was informed that my LDL was too high. I was like what is that? Last Dance Ladies? She said your cholesterol is too high and explained it to me like this:

Cholesterol is a lipid, a type of fat found in the body. Having high BAD cholesterol means you have too much LDL in your blood. LDL is low-density lipoprotein, or BAD cholesterol.

Too much cholesterol in the blood, or high cholesterol, can be serious. People with high cholesterol are at risk of getting heart disease. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Plus, only about 20% of cholesterol comes from the foods you eat. The other 80% is made by your body. Things such as age and family health history affect how much cholesterol your body makes.**

Ok, I thought I am going to tackle this head on. She told me to change my diet to see if I could bring the cholesterol down before I went on medication. I was told to READ FOOD LABELS.

1. No saturated fats or at least less that 7% a day
2. No trans Fat

The remaining fat she told me should come from sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as nuts, seeds, fish and vegetable oils; and limit cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg per day, for most people.

I can do this!

The next day I bought salmon, trout, herring, avocados, olives, walnuts, skinless chicken, locally grown string beans and lettuce, sunflower seeds, peanuts and sorbet (lemon and orange flavor). And switched from stick butter to soft margarine (well a plus woman needs her butter some of the time, really).

Day 1: great fun learning to combine foods
Day 2: love the walnut salad
Day 3: added a pear to the walnut salad
Day 4: trying to be creative with menu
Day 5: Oops I went out to dinner but had a grilled chicken salad with olive oil dressing
Day 6: I lost 2 pounds!

I like this! I gonna try to move a size down in clothing. Lets see, I will keep you posted.
