Oh Sue, this is great, thank you! I'm going to load up on fish and fruit and nuts to get things going, now I've got plenty of fish, redfish, catfish and flounder but I have a question....is shrimp equivilent to fish? I eat shrimp couple times a week and crab too, but I know the crab is high in fat, so I'm going to give that up...



Fish & internal animal fats (slight marbling) are GOOD fats you need. Don't go on a No Fat diet! Very bad thing to do! It's the 'new' fats that are killing us... the hydrogenated fats & oils, crisco, margarine..... highly toxic.

Stick with butter, real lard, olive oils, etc. Organic is best, but not always doable. (I'm sure I'll get flamed for that last statement, but that is what my research has found and my cholesterol levels have gotten better when I made those changes AND everyone that does Adkins diets lower cholesterol too)
