[QUOTE="gauravkgoyal, post: 1621122, member: 431237"] Hi, Thanks for your comments. Yes I'm sure that you will be able to do it in couple of months only as your levels are not too high. You can enjoy rice by replacing white rice with brown rice and no major difference in taste. Always check if you can replace simple carbs with complex carbs. Complex carbs with higher dietary fibre are always better than simple carbs. I have even ate home made Pizza's for couple of times made from whole wheat floor crust :-) it's OK to have such things occasionally in moderation. Just to mention here that my Carb count was not too low but I tried to restrict carb (except from Veg and fruits) to max 2 meals only and every meal is having some protein (my protein intake was low due to limited options as vegetarion). Vegerables are always better than juice. To make it more tasty, you can add boiled or canned beans into your salad to give a creamy flavor. No need to prick your fingerseveny now and then but still I would recommend to keep a check at least once in a week (fasting BG). Coming to Colestrol, there are multiple confusing advises in terms of fat intake. However, after studying a lot, I came to a conclusion that go slow on fats and you can include all the natural fats in your diet without second thought but in moderation such as full fat dairy, cheese, avocado, nuts, extra virgin olive oil etc. In last 4 months, my Triglycerides have reduced to 50% however, in LDL and HDL numbers there was slight improvement only. To improve HDL numbers, I need to increase soluble fibre intake and more exercise than a simple walk. Soaking almonds and walnuts in water is something recommended to us by elders to increse the absorption of nutrients into them. You can refer below links to find out more. I see no harm in doing it..it just take 1-2 additional minutes for me.
