wabmester said:Did he tell you specifically what to watch in your diet? Of all the profiles posted here today (is today bloodwork day or something?), yours looks like it would benefit most from a low-carb diet. Check out a book called "Protein Power" for a pretty easy approach, or if you want a dead-simple approach just cut way back on sweet and starchy stuff like breads, juices, colas, cookies, candies, etc. and then retest after a few weeks.
He told me to decrease carbs and to add more fiber, I get plenty of exersize. I tried low carb the Atkins way once and did not like it and it did not change my blood in any significant way. I also have a thyroid problem that does not help matters, I take synthroid for it but it's all over the place, it just won't stabilize and has been like that for years. Sometimes I could eat a horse and others no appetite, it depends on my thyroid level. However I feel pretty good.........Shredder
