aloha ben,
thanks for the support.
though i watch a lot of Food Network where everything is about butter and bacon, and i don't seriously know how several of those chefs don't have a coronary.....
but seriously, i know all the rules of good fat/bad fat, and have been eating that way for years. i know all the rules about good carbs/bad carbs, and likewise have been eating that way as well.
but, either genetics is winning, or i need to get moving.....
my husband and i eat basically the same thing, except that he cheats more than i. we're the same age. his lipids are still excellent, like mine were at age 30. the only real difference is that he's more active, does lots of gardening. and i bet his genes are better.
i can't fix my genes, but i can start moving....
i've thought about the niacin..high levels are bad for blood sugar...low levels might be just what the doctor ordered....
can i avoid statins and fibrates? i'll do what i can.
who knows, maybe its just the wakeup call i needed???
