so daddy went to the doctor yesterday for a cholesterol test, and he totally kicked major butt!
the doctor already had the results this morning, and daddy lowered his cholesterol by about 15% … 32 points, to be exact … how did he do it?! well, those endless admonishments to eat low-fat, high-fiber, non-processed foods are apparently right … mommy and daddy have pretty much eliminated the crap (especially the eating out). they have cut down on their meat intake, and as they have written in past posts … mommy has stopped cooking with butter and bacon fat … daddy also dutifully takes omega-3 and nature made’s cholest-off, both of which — mommy is choosing to believe — have helped him.
so what did mommy and daddy do to celebrate daddy’s recently vetted healthiness? they had greasy, cheesy pizza with pepperoni and peppers, of course!
ahhhh, the irony.
p.s. mommy is ridiculously lucky … her cholesterol has always been low, even with all she has ingested in her life … and she has fabulously high HDL … AND she has been taking omega-3 supplements since she found out she was preggo with yours truly and while she was nursing me … omega-3 is supposed to help me be smart!

Kick arse! Woo hoo! Auntie Loretta also has amazingly low cholesterol levels given how much junk SHE has ingested in life, and she is glad that Steven has made it to the “cool kids” low cholesterol camp.

I think Mommy and Daddy might like the Kardea Nutrition gourmet snack bars with 1 grams of sterols and 7 grams of fiber (with a unique blend of heart healthy soluble fiber). The daily therapeutic target for sterols is 2 grams, and these bars (along with supplements like cholest-off) better assure that the appropriate levels are consumer each day.
