thanks for the encouraging words Kat,
its good to hear about your mum's story.
yes, my diet is good (i recently bought this book on how to lower your cholesterol 30 points in 30 days, and i'm already eating "better" than this, you know very little of the bad fat, good fat in moderation (nuts, fish, EVOO, etc), lots of fiber, veggies, beans, fruit in moderation, etc, etc)....
but like your mum, i may just have to go crazy with the diet.
can you tell me the highlights of that diet your mother was on?
what % of her calories came from fat?
what did she really stay clear of?
what did she eat a lot of?
anything you can ask / remember would be greatly appreciated.
but, here's where i could make a big change....exercise....i've started walking every day, regardless....i ice before and after i walk when i need to. i'm starting out just 1 mile / 20 minutes, but will progress when my SI / knees let me. this should help stave off diabetes as long as possible too.
thanks again for the support,
sue
PS and please don't tell me i can't have ANY dark chocolate,
surely i wont' survive
