Good Afternoon Subscribing Sweeties

I'm back home from the Drs now, he gave me the Statins and advised me on my diet! Apparently I need to cut down on meat, butter, cheese and full fat milk! Not like I have much of those anyway! Plus no more than 4 eggs a week but I rarely have that many anyway!

Feeling pretty tired today, think the last few days has finally caught up on me!

Lots of Love
Serena

Not surprising you're tired, it's been so stressful for you. Be kind to yourself and try to take it easy for a few days. Hugs xx

Jst on lunch, so nice outside & I'm stuck indoors.

8.... If memory serves me right It's 1pp per 10g x

It is BUT you get 87g for 8pp so you'd be doing yourself out of 7g of pasta by having 80g x

Hey Serena

Sorry you're having a tough time at the moment. I'm pleased the doctors are on the ball and have now given you some medication. Keep up the weight loss and the doctor won't be able to find anything for you to stop/do as you hardly eat any of the things on that list anyway as you say. Look after yourself and we're all here whenever you need us.

Lots of love
Nic xx

Hmmm Hun, when it comes to doctors and diets I'd take what they say with a pinch of salt. My friend is a doctor and they only spent 2 full days on diet when she did her training. They don't know what they are talking about. Eggs are almost a complete food, I think they are only missing vitamin C. There has been many studies showing they actually lower cholesterol. Obviously there are other studies saying the opposite. But I think everything in moderation. We need some good fats in our bodies
What is it you struggle with? If you don't mine me asking....I'm nosey

I like your treat reply. I struggle with having treats in, an open pack of anything and I can't help myself. I'm 5ft9 but we have a top shelf really high. My skinny husband is 6ft4 and he puts his sweets on that shelf. Since being pregnant I can't reach that high lol

Hi Serena, hope you are resting for the evening now after your GP appt. I agree with Mummy Sarah, sounds like the Gp has pulled that off 'google' instead of taking into account your actual diet. SW suggest no more than 10 eggs a week, however I doubt many people eat more than 4 as a rule. Hopefully the meds will be more helpful. Take it steady lady

Hey gorgeous Lady hope you are ok? Xx

This is pretty much what I was going to say too. The advice from your doctor really doesn't sound very personalised (or very up to date) so I would encourage you do your own research into any dietry changes you make. Sometimes its about the things you chose to include rather than exclude as well. There is a fair few studies that show a link between oat bran and lower cholestrel and a very well established link between upping veg intake and upping exercise.

I think I'm gonna pop to the library tomorrow and see if I can get any recent books out to read up on the subject. X
