[QUOTE="marzak, post: 2088374, member: 506613"] I am not medically trained but 3 immediate family members are doctors. My family also has a medical history of high cholesterol on one side and aneurysms on the other [even the marathon running doctor who uses cholesterol lowering medication] so I take care of my cholesterol and LDL keeping them low through what I eat rather than what I leave out. Veg, salads, seeds, nuts and pulses keep them fine. I do not eat meat but do eat fish. I do eat other animal fats in butter and dairy. I am lighter and fitter than I have been for some years and healthy notwithstanding being insulin resistant - my T2D. I failed in my effort to give up meds but in fact my spikes are now all under 7 a vast improvement from 9 weeks ago. After a period building muscle and fitness I will try again; if no success I will attempt the very serious 800kCal per day 8 week diet as its success [for some] is backed by peer reviewed research. Fortunately all the same foods are best for T2D, as those to avoid heart disease and reduce risk of cancers. Even better my vegan daughter is teaching me lots of really interesting and tasty recipes. However I would miss my dairy. I can hear the dog retching - he had the pastry from a quiche and I had the eggy inners - obviously doesn't agree with him, oops!! He is skinny too as he exercises with me. I'm practical. I need to eat enough calories to exercise and enough non-starchy foodstuffs to keep my blood glucose regulated. I will find that balance and give up meds forever - that's what I want to achieve. My builder friend has done it for 27 years, so can I. [/QUOTE]
