Wanted to do a test

So at lunch, I went to Shoneys. The got a good salad bar and a decent buffay. I think I passed with flyin colors and here's the proof. Notice how small the plate is.

Notice I left some salad.

And fer the buffay. Notice no taters, Mac & cheese or rolls. Small salsbury steak, one piece of liver & onions and a little helpin of BBQ.

Unsweet tea and no desert. Boy, I feel healthier already.

Proud of you, Minner!!!!

In the cholesterol dept......You might be unhappy if you knew the fat content of some of that stuff on your plate. A salad can add up to trouble in no time flat. And I've always heard that liver is high in fat as far as cholesterol goes. It's 21% fat before it's prepared. I've had co-workers go on salad diets and gain weight. Guess you're going to have to do lots of research to figure it out. Hang in there, though. Once you get it figured out it will definitely make a difference! :)

Minner you will find maybe like I did that high blood sugar makes alot of things go wrong with your body. My main deal is that I have learned to eat at least 3 meals per day plus some snacks. Even if I cheat its better than not eatting anything at all. I sure wish there was a Shoneys around me somewhere I love to eat breakfast there!

3 meals a day plus snacks ain't the hard part, trust me and I've done better on what I eat. I ain't had no bread in a while and ifn I do, it's a bagel in the mornin. A feller that likes to eat like I do can't jus go cold turkey all at once. What irks me is when I know I've done better than I normally would do and I've taken my mess and my stankin sugar will still be up. Oh well, I'll learn one day. And fer all y'all Dr's on here. I live with a farmacist, so I get plenty of doctorin and leckshurin on what I should and should not be Eatin.

Exactly right.....his Dr. should have given him a list of does and don'ts.........eating like he is doeing and thinking he is eating healthy is bad news.

it's a LOT of information to learn in a short time, G. Rome wasn't built in a day. He's trying and to be dealt a double whammy with sugar and cholesterol would NOT be fun. Ain't none of us perfect right off the bat! My dad got dealt that same double and it took my Mom a longgggggggggg time to figure out what he could have to eat and which things were the lesser of the evils. And it's a lot easier when you are eating at home. When you eat on the road you never know exactly how they make things and don't always have a lot of choices.

Tracy is doing JUST fine. He is getting better by the day.

My wife is going through all the same stuff Minner and she is young in comparison to you. Her sugar at first was 330ish and chol was 760ish. Both are better now but it takes alot of changing.

wouldn't that kind of be like lard pulsing through your veins?

A combo of Lipitor and Zetia has Mr. CN's cholesterol down to 110-120 range. They gave him the max of Lipitor (which has either gone over the counter or is on the verge of it) and a booster of Zetia as he will not eat properly.

April is not the best at eating properly either. Sometimes she will and sometimes she is way off but with the meds it has come down alot.

And considering how SWEET you are, it would be nearly impossible for her to keep her sugar under control, right???

Congrats on your progress, Minnerman. It aint easy. My wife has diabetes and high cholesterol.That woman goes through hell trying to find things to eat. Her blood sugar varies so much she takes a reading before each meal, then decides what she can eat. Then, I'm no help either. She can't seem to stay away from the doctor. I go to the doctor once a year for a check up. Always expect a bad report as I eat whatever I want, but the test results have always been normal. I eat whatever she says when I'm at home. When away I live on fried foods. Go Figure! Anyway; keep up the good work.
