Low carb diet!

No, that will make you slip on the ice and die of a head injury, just like Dr. Adkins.

Idiots don't understand that taking a few more craps each day is much better then puking at 2 am because you ate some Tai Peanut sauce or pizza ?

So true.

I have had to leave dairy and grains. Lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity run in my family.

Thanks you.
My doc asked me how I turned all the glucose, cholesteral and dropped 55lbs in 6months.
My reply I followed the ADA guidlines you sent me to class for.

They do work. I will be the first to say it is hard work being active on top of an already active life and making the psychologilcal changes about what eating is all about.

But the outcome is very rewarding.

Best to you and yours Merry Christmas.

This is exactly what Thomas Sowell talks about - trade offs! You cannot have something without something else happening. You cannot have a perfect accident free world. Yet, some liberal do-gooder will read this and want to ban all anti acid drugs.

Because the brain requires cholesterol to function, one must seriously wonder about the first whisperings of a link between Alzheimer's and drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor. If we all ate less and what we ate was wholesome and we all walked a couple of miles a day, the big pharmas would be out of business. Fortunately for them, few individuals have the will to change their unhealthy life styles.

"Simple heartburn preventative: Low carb diet!"

Yup, works like a charm. No fun at all, but works great.

One of the most common "side effects" of Lipitor is memory loss.

Well, duh.
Your brain is made of cholesterol and you're eliminating it intentionally.


Hubby went through the 'brain fog' and muscle pains for years.
He's talking Coenzyme Q-10 to correct it.

Lipitor's makers knew that it destroyed CoQ10 but refused to admit it.
Now they have a new formula which includes a puny amount of CoQ10 to make up for [a miniscule amount of] what it destroys.

Evil creeps.

I so miss dairy. I cheat and pay when it comes to chocolate. But I have since become accustomed to soy milk mochas and lattes. *sigh*

What I really miss is the gluten. Because it is more than pasta and bread. I have to avoid gravies, cream soups, etc., because they all have a flour base.

Rice and potatoes can get boring.

The hardest part of a low-carb diet is resisting the inevitable urge to turn around three times before sitting on the sofa.



*woof*
