H2o, have you lost weight or experienced improved health on your regimen? Are you keto or paleo?

I am keto/low carb. My joint inflammation is much better my blood sugar stays under 110. I lost weight and gained muscle I eat a lot of protein.

If you don’t want too drastic of a change try the Mediterranean diet. It is a life style not a diet.

I'm confused. Dr says what we eat doesn't much affect our blood cholesterol levels, our bodies produce it and you could probably eat whatever you want and it wouldn't make much difference. But then she said it's a good idea to avoid fried foods, fast foods, greasy foods. So .... which is it?

It would be nice if they would specifically mention what to avoid instead of being so general about it.
We use a lot of butter, coconut oil and olive oil. We avoid all highly processed foods.

I think we pretty much do that already.

That will be wonderful if it helps, Cynthia! When will you know?

Haven't gone to a dr for it. The NP for my neurologist did suggest it for my VM. I said no at the time. Tomorrow I go in for my knee. Hoping I get an injection. Well see. Got poked twice today as my blood stopped giving in the first vein..still had another tube to go. Other arm gave it up. She had to get it for a CBC.

I have a thought and that works for me. lt's quite simple. I focus on eating so much of the things that I know that are good for me and ignore what the bloggers tell me not to eat. Which is worse ignoring high quality nutrient dense vegetables because the taste is not a favorite food and having to try and get what is needed in a narrow band of foods and depending on not eating anything deemed to be bad? Spelt is one of the oldest known grains deemed for health. So was red meat.. Due to forum policy I can't say what I'm thinking about the long haul of health but there is more to my life than avoiding a, b,c, d, and only eating e, f, & g. If I can reduce pain by avoiding tomatoes I'll give them up. But only if I detect that it helps not what is published in a blog.

I finally started looking at bread machines. I like the ones with the fruit and nut dispensers. Cinnamon, raisin, and pecan bread sounds good. Less sugar than cakes but still a treat.

Sounds like one I just bought. Will make jam too.

Oooh, did not know they had any with those features!

They do. I'll get a photo in a bit. I'm loving mine.

Some have a gluten free feature and I have no clue as to how that works.

You just find a recipe for it. You can make that in most of the machines..if not all.
