Tend to only eat the good fats now, no biscuits, less bread, no pasta, always a decent breakfast like porridge with fruit on or shredded wheat, poached eggs on toast etc. I’m not saying you cut everything out, just moderation and being able to control your old habits. I have an app on my phone that scans bar codes on food. It tells you how much sugar’s in the food and is useful when you’re starting to look at your diet. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

High cholesterol is a big factor in clogged arteries and raised risk of heart attack or strokes as stated there are two types. But if your condition has has been known about since 2012, I'd ask your doctor for an explanation as to what your current levels are and to talk you through what your situation is. You're doctor may decide to have a new blood test to check you out and review the current state of play. Also have a read up on the correct levels and types. As for geting paid it's like the flu jab. Money in the bank. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
