no, seriously. you drink healthy tea's, eat salsa, chili, etc. all heart smart stuff. i had a double and a single cheeseburger from Dairy Queen for dinner

I'm trying to be good - stopped eating sweets and choc and been living on chili, oatcakes and peanuts mostly

Doc told me to lose a stone and get my blood sugar down to 7.5 (from 11.9) in 6 months or I go on insulin

Cutting down of coffee too and trying a few different herbal teas

Got a thyroid problem now too so will be on more pills when I see him in a couple of weeks

Really fancy a burger now

peanuts and cranberry tea

if you can switch from peanuts to almonds, your cholesterol will drop quite a bit, small handful a day will do it. you can also get almond butter instead of peanut butter, but it is quite a bit more expensive. almonds (or walnuts) are very heart smart (right from a doc's mouth). niacin supplement also lowers cholesterol (also from doc).

don't like any other type of nut

soya milk is great for lowering cholesterol - may have mentioned it before

doc is pleased with cholesterol level at the moment

bought loads of Twiglets today - thought they were semi bad but they are actually pretty good - low(ish) fat for a snack and a wholegrain too

hehe - just noticed on the wiki they have niacin too = high carb but low sugar and salt

i don't think you can get Twiglets here, although you can get Peek Freens cookies (the original maker of Twiglets).

townie2 · « **Reply #3971 on:** March 07, 2012, 09:57:45 AM »

lol, what do you eat with all that salsa? do you just eat it by the bowl with a spoon, or on corn chips? it's really good on eggs or pork chops.

Max · « **Reply #3972 on:** March 07, 2012, 10:27:49 AM »

used to eat it with Doritos but have switched to flour tortilla wraps - much healthier

or if I haven't got those the straight from a bowl with a spoon

Cinnamon raisin bagel and banana with a cup of Earl Grey

Max · « **Reply #3974 on:** March 07, 2012, 10:37:57 AM »

Cinnamon will lower your blood sugar - and a banana will raise it again

Earl Grey will just make you cooler than the mongs who only drink ordinary tea (mainly Brits

)

I knew those first couple things, but didn't know that Earl Grey would make me cooler than mongs

It is the only tea I like

so what brand of salsa do you buy Max?

just kidding

Max · « **Reply #3978 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:17:29 AM »

I sometimes buy the supermarket stuff in a jar if I buy doritos but prefer making my own

It's nice and chunky and also has kidney beans in it .... an it's a LOT hotter
