The Atkins diet lowered my cholesterol from 212 to 186 in about forty days.
His biggest number is in the Trigicerides, LDL is to low barely hitting 43, HDL just hits 200. Gives him a heart attack rate of 4.
That is starchy veggies, he is not about to give up his ‘taters’ as he puts it.
I bake, broil, grill or crock pot 99% of all the food we eat. Very little fat in the form of oil is used. Pizza is a once in a while treat. Spaghetti once a month. I’ve reduced his bread intake to 2 slices of diet whole wheat once a day, and have been feeding him oatmeal with a small amount of walnuts and raisins daily.
Potatoes is the biggest problem according to his doctor.
Heck I don’t know of any thing else that I can do. He’d eat all the meat I put in front of him...but he wants that potato in some form on the plate with it.
