Since I got mine under control, I've gone back to some of the "stuff God made" like butter and eggs. Not a bunch, but it seems that all the transfat free stuff is just mostly chemicals. Oh, that and regular small amounts of dry red wine. :-)
Just my own theory, but the French have much better cardiac health than we do.

I never cheat on the saturated fat. But occasionally I cheat to moderation on the cholesterol. I assume the statin drugs are doing their job! Another really bad one --> mayo. Take a look sometime at the fat content! -----Original Message----- From: Faisal Imtiaz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 1:19 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT Ron, Aren't Shell Fish... (Shrimp, lobster & crawfish) also off limits due to being high in cholesterol? Along with Alcohol ?

No cheese, bacon, sausage, cookies, doughnuts, beef, butter. Look for healthy alternatives. Believe it or not, before long even the heart-healthy foods will taste good. Seafood, no-fat cheese, more salads and very lean ham or turkey are good. No beef. Just read the nutritional labels on anything you buy before it goes in your mouth. I don't eat anything with more than 2 grams of saturated fat per serving. Meds: The docs played with the meds for a while until we finally got the LDL down < 70. I'm on 10 Mg Zetia, 80 Mg Pravastatin (generic equivalent for Pravachol), 10 Mg Lisinopril (blood drug) and a baby aspirin. The statin drugs are notorious for causing muscle pains, but I don't have any problem tolerating the Pravachol. Word of warning to all: If over 40 I suggest that you have a test done to determine if there is any plaque buildup in your arteries. Don't rely on a simple stress test in combination with an annual physical to determine if heart-healthy. I had a stress test in which nothing showed up, 6 months before the heart incident (80-90% blockage in main arteries). Since my experience, all of my friends over 40 have had a heart CT scan (or some equivalent) done. One of them owned his own telecom company, and after the test, went out and bought a $10 mil life policy because they found something. Hope this helps.Ron -----Original Message----- From: Chuck McCown - 3 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 11:48 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT So, what is that diet like?
