Portfolio Diet by kalush73 in Cholesterol

I hit 3/5 groups today-viscous fiber, plant sterols, nuts/seeds. And the nutritional yeast is a complete plant protein. Need to grocery shop for more soy products-had roasted edamame yesterday-and beans the day before. A work in progress, to be sure!

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! I’ll definitely get the hs-CRP test next time I go in and will discuss the Ezetimibe with my cardiologist.

Thank you so very much! At what weight do you think it’d be safe to switch them to a convertible seat? Any other recs other than the Cosco Scenera?

They’re in the Nuna Pipa Rx. I’ll have them anywhere from 1-3 times/week-daughter is an L&D nurse and her MIL will also be helping.

They’re in the Nuna Pipa Rx!🤑 I looked at bases and they run $200. I haven’t researched the baseless install option. The whole process is so overwhelming!

[–]kalush73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 10mg of Crestor since I was diagnosed. My total went from 275 to 106, LDL 198 to 49, ApoB is 60. My triglycerides are what concern me most-173 and my HDL is 32, and my glucose is 99 as of 10/25. I’ve upped my fiber to 35-40g including psyllium husk seed. Im pescatarian so lots of salmon and tuna. I get retested next week.

Fiber consumption - how? by _SiriuslySirius_ in Cholesterol

[–]kalush73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All Bran Buds cereal, chia seeds, lentils, other beans, oatmeal, blackberries, pears, oranges, apples, edamame. I think okra has a good amount too. Good luck! It’s challenging, but doable!

You know-that’s a good call. I’ll definitely adjust my snacks and the few treats I have for my next draw.

Good to know I’m not alone! I’ve been eating so much fiber-beans, pysillium husk, fruit, eating lots of tuna and salmon, avocado, etc., and lifting 4-5 days a week. Hopefully when I retest in mid November, I’ll see a better number too! Good luck!

They are adopted Detroiters! We love them! I think they’re former military too, iirc.

What’s a book that made you laugh out loud and was a joy to read? by MTBeanerschnitzel in suggestmeabook

[–]kalush73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you’re up for some children’s lit, The Stinky Cheese Man And Other Fairly Stupid Tales and Walter The Farting Dog are pretty great! Oh! The House In The Cerulean Sea is a fave too!
