[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1619207, member: 211362"] The benefit for me is I can now control my cholesterol with the restricted diet I'm on. I had to eliminate a lot of healthy foods from my diet because of my bladder condition. My GI conditions also are problematic as vegetables cause me a lot of pain and so does red meat. I can't eat processed meats like bacon either. As a result the 'safe' foods are mostly carbs and fats but they both aren't good for me either as raises sugar and raises cholesterol. If I'm being honest, pretty much all food is not good for me.... but I have to eat. I also have problems with choking on food due to my throat not moving properly. With this restricted diet my cholesterol sky rocketed again simply because I wasn't eating what I used to eat. My doc put me on a low dose statin and it's worked taking my level down from 6.8 to 4.4. High cholesterol and heart disease is prevalent in my family so I can't take the risk of not trying to control my cholesterol. I wish I could eat whatever I wanted to as then yes I could control my cholesterol... but I can't. I eat the wrong thing and I'm in even more pain which puts my sugar level up as well. [/QUOTE]
