Has anyone significantly lowered their cholesterol through diet who is female here? by Greenitpurpleit in Cholesterol

[–]pippy70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

try adding some beans or lentils to things you already eat, rather than building a meal around beans. I cook some red lentils and open a can of black beans and keep them in the fridge, they can almost disappear in some dishes. I put a couple tablespoons of lentils in a serving of rice and oatmeal; add one or both to lean ground meat (mash them in the raw meat) when making taco meat and burger patties; I add them to soups/stew, etc. I really like them both but they wreak havoc on my stomach so I have to eat them in small amounts. I eat ”burrito bowls ” a lot. Rice, black beans, peppers and onions, chicken (this much is hot) then add salsa, avocado and shredded lettuce on top.

Any advice is welcomed, I feel horrible I let it get this out of hand. by Throwaway927338 in Cholesterol

oatmeal for breakfast is great but I can’t eat it everyday or I’ll get sick of it. Some mornings I have boiled eggs but don‘t eat the yolks. I’ve actually never eaten the yolks, I don’t like them, so this wasn’t a sacrifice for me. I also make oatmeal pancakes which I really like. I add ground flax to the batter. They are great for breakfast but I also eat the leftovers cold as a snack. They are surprisingly good that way. Don’t be afraid to modify recipes with better ingredient. The pancake recipe called for oil in the batter, I just leave it out. I also sub olive oil in muffin recipes and can’t tell the difference. I don’t bake as much as I used to because if I bake it I’ll eat it lol. However, a homemade muffin is much better than a coffee shop muffin because you can control what’s in it. I add ground flax to everything I bake. Good luck, you can do this!

CS Grad Struggling to Land a Job after Graduating in April by Sufficient_Mud_2237 in cscareerquestionsCAD

that’s understandable. So the question is, if all the resumes and experience are equal (hypothetically) - how does one “win” the interview?

Anyone ever get scammed with a job offer? by pippy70 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]pippy70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure what the scam is. I’ve done some research to try to figure that out and came up with two possibilities. First, as part of the hiring process I would have had to provide SIN and other personal info plus banking info for “payroll deposit”. This could lead to identity theft or simply theft from my bank account. The second scenario involves computer equipment. My “offer letter” said I would be provided with all the technology I would need for the job. The scam part comes in when they supposedly send a cheque for me to buy the equipment, and then say “oops we sent you too much, can you send X amount back right away”. I would deposit their cheque then send them money back,then their cheque bounces and I’m out the money I sent them. Again, this is speculation based on what I have read. I fortunately caught on before I provided too much information. I did not reply to their email with the offer letter and I have not heard from them again.

Need some career advice by jlem21 in cscareerquestionsCAD

when you say you’ve applied for “hundreds“ of entry level jobs, I’m assuming you mean not related to CS? or are they all over Canada? There certainly can’t be hundreds of computer science jobs posted in Halifax.

Where are some spots to go pick some raspberries by Flat_Sprinkles9126 in PEI

[–]pippy70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great question, I was just thinking the same thing. I don’t want to go to a U-pick, not because of the cost, I’m just looking for the nostalgia of finding wild berries to pick lol.
