Natures Bounty is the brand I usually buy. We tend to eat Cherrio’s & Raisin Bran mixture for breakfast with a half a banana each, skim milk. I bake, boil, broil or grill most of our foods. Fried is few and far between.

I avoid multi’s because I react to some of the things in them like the chromium, bilberry.

Hubby’s cholestrol is not all that bad, triglicrides get him he’s a starch/sweetaholic, his doc just thinks 230 is to high. Just like his BP is usually 140 when we go in...after driving the chaotic I-240 loop..any one would have high BP! We are doing more walking now he has his new partial knee.

Yea, my tri’s are bad too. I have a sweet tooth you wouldn’t believe. I take extra chromium and it seems to cut my cravings for sweets. I usually do a whey protein drink in the morning with 2 or 3 quarters of a frozen banana or any other frozen fruit.

My hubbies BP also is to high so he takes BP meds. My BP would be through the roof if I had to drive those city high ways regular....lol
