[QUOTE="derry60, post: 1625213, member: 407978"] This is what I basically do. The only thing that I have changed is the carb content. I never ate many pies maybe once in a month or two, cakes now and then but rare because I don't really have a sweet tooth. I never went overboard with carbs, but always ate healthy carbs (or so I thought) I may have had 60 grams of carbs a day, could have been more but obviously, that is to much for me. I have now gone to 20grams or under and now can lose weight. I don't eat the fat off meat, but rather from Salmon, nuts seeds, Olive oil. I will have butter now but limited amounts, cream also but limited amounts. I really do not want my Cholesterol to go up. I know quite a few people here are saying Cholesterol does not matter, but when I had my heart attack although I smoked my total Cholesterol was 6.8. I am afraid I have now had since the heart attack the mind set to keep my Cholesterol down. I have lived for 14 years with no problems regarding my heart with my Cholesterol at 4.1 or just under now and then. I would like to keep it that way. [/QUOTE]
