I am doing all that Pat has been doing, keeping away from salt,fats,red meats,snacks. Eating healthier by reading all the labels, it actually takes me hours to go shopping as I have to look for fat free this, low or no sodium that products. I don't buy canned goods, those are loaded with sodium also boxed prepared foods are also. I prepare only my own ingredients then I know how much of what that we're actually eating. I'm on meds for high cholesterol and hypothyroidism. I have a recumbent bike and a treadmill of which I try to use every day. We have walking tapes and the tv is right in front of the machines. I work the night shift so its very difficult to follow thru with the exercises when I have to sleep during the day, just don't have the energy sometimes but I push myself. My husband and I eat mostly fresh veggies, fresh fruits, baked fish, baked chicken with that Corn Flake topping, yum. We have been eating healthy and trying to maintain our weight but those extra pounds creep up sometimes. Try Cauliflower mashed instead of potatoes, its delicious ! We eat oatbran to keep the cholesterol down and I stopped making or having any sweets a long time ago.
We have stopped eating out, take vitamins, E, BeePollen, and FlaxSeed supplements.Drink lots of water, no soda or diet soda. Keep away from breads,pastas,sugar or anything thats bad for the health. Im just getting to read this longest thread ever, its great ! but I've been down with a sore throat since last thursday and chest congestion with a cough so I haven't felt like getting on the pc.
Its a wonderful thread, and a lot of advice for everyone. I wish all the members ' SLIM in 2006 ". I'll be checking in here also.
MY dr. has given me unlimited us of our health facility at my work, and she suggests that I follow the "Glycemic Index" food list. We drink a lot of white, green, black teas also |
