Walnuts and almonds are also brain food. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

CrosstitchQueen Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 477 Loc: Sanford, Florida	It's been 3 months since I started the Zetia and I had blood drawn yesterday........should have results from doc's office in a few days. Hoping to hear that it's lowering my cholesterol and I can just continue at the same dose, but who knows. Will be relieved when doc's office calls with results. Will post when they call and let you all know! _________________________ Ann

CrosstitchQueen Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 477 Loc: Sanford, Florida	Doc's office called this afternoon. Believe it or not my cholesterol came down over 40 points in 3 months!! (from 265, back in January, to 221 now). They just want me to continue taking the same dosage and have it checked again in June. I'm really amazed!! Was hoping for good results but this was even better than I expected!! _________________________ Ann

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	I've known thin people who were diagnosed with high chloestrol. I just take 4-5 tablespoons of quick cooking oats into a microwaveable container, add some water and zap microwave for 50 seconds. Add some milk ..my oatmeal tends to be milky not gloppy, thick. That's my breakfast along with 1/2 grapefruit. Before I dash off for work commute..at 5:30 am. I know that alot of joggers and cyclists prefer oatmeal as slow-release healthy carb, fibre, etc. in morning, instead of much bread. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com
