Guest guest Report post Posted May 19, 2002 Hi! U recently joined this list and I enjoy reading all your posts. I have one small compllaint though - I receive the digest version (all posts of the day in one email) and it is very difficult to scroll through the holw email if everyone juts hits reply to en email and doesn't cut out what's already in it. Could you please crop your posts so we digest readers don't have to see every email 20 times? Thanks! Olesja Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd only rate myself > about a B- otherwise <grin>, I'm a heart patient and diabetic, and carbohydrates are converted to sugar, not to cholesterol, which is found only in meat and dairy products. Avoid those and you avoid cholesterol. Your liver will still produce some, on its own, but why add to your problem by ingesting cholesterol? Avoiding carbs is dangerous, and produces a condition known as ketosis, which is a toxic condition in which your muscles are destroying themselves. That's what those all-protein diets do to you, and it can be devastating to one's health even in short periods of time. > >> >> So I'm sitting here wondering what on earth to eat -- and haven't >> eaten yet today. lol!

If it's white don't eat it. What this steers one away from is empty calories, largely, since whole grains are slower digesting and have much more nutrient value. > > For myself, I've come to the conclusion that moderation in > all things is key and I eat as I please now: however, I've > been eating a natural-foods, 'healthy' diet for so many > years that it's now the way I *want* to eat.

I make our bread (bread machine), > it's whole wheat bread. a Low fat, no sat fat, high fiber / whole grains, fruits, and veggies diet can actually reverse damage to arteries and lower blood sugar, especially if combined with regular exercise. 30 minutes a day five times a week, a brisk walk being sufficient. > > I've seen the pendulum as to what we are 'supposed' to eat > swing - as you have too.
