Re: omg just started having porridge and blood sugars rocket
Most of your cholesterol is made by your liver. That's how statins work - they interfere with cholesterol production in the liver. Only a relatively small percentage comes direct from food intake - and don't ask me for figures/references just now, though I can probably find them in a day or so if anyone wants to know. Phoenix will probably know?
I've had two eggs for breakfast almost every day for the last 6 months, as a variety of omelettes. I can also cope with a very small portion of Lizi's Granola. I haven't tried Burgen bread, but I find I can also manage just one slice of a multi-grain loaf from the supermarket beginning with T :wink: , made into a sandwich with cheese and/or ham and some salad.
One thing that is amazingly nice for breakfast is cold chicken salad - and that can easily be prepped overnight and left, covered, in the fridge. Just add mayo!
I've even been known to eat cold pork with cold ratatouille. No accounting for taste :shock:
Re the eggs and cholesterol - I'm due for my next range of blood tests next week. If my cholesterol levels have shot up, I'll cover myself with sackcloth and ashes and repent my evil ways - or maybe not :wink:
