After spending years of eating like a 10 year old with his first $100 bill it seems that caught up with me and my sugar fueled diet turned against me lately. A1C was 11.6 and my cholesterol was 240 pretty out of wack really. The A1C was the record my Dr. said highest they had ever seen I guess I’m a winner for that to date. LOL Not good they started to talk daily shots for the rest of my days in fact my PA wanted me to start shots when this all came about.

I said that won’t work for me I’ll change my diet and get back to her in 3 months. My PA was not happy but I knew how stupid I had been eating it was never a issue before that. She referred me to the Doc and we visited and he agreed the 3 month trial.

So I quit pop, raw sugar, white bread, milk, rice, candy, donuts, butter, any added salt and no fatty foods not that I ate a lot of fatty foods never could stomach them.

Tested this week my A1C was down 3.5 points and the cholesterol dropped to 123 with the help of some meds they put me on and diet changes. Still need to work on the A1C will see how low I can get that. Quitting was a nightmare don’t let it go that far the diet is a nightmare also your option are limited it seems tree bark is the only option at times. LOL

Just getting my head right now spent 2 months with a buzz on every waking moment it got old fast but cleared up over the last few weeks. So watch your diet it put a big ding in this years season and I was in good shape to begin with.

Water and coffee for me it seems with the less sugar less need to drink fluids all of the time so far. With the cholesterol so low I’ll ask about adding some butter to my diet dry popcorn sucks.

“If it taste good, spit it out.”

Best diet for getting sugar and cholesterol back on track.

Buying prepared food is tough if you avoid fat, sugar and salt you have very few choices to make a diet plan with. Most foods advertise 2 of the lower impact ingredients and leave out the higher content ingredient to sound healthy on the cover.

Living on oats, eggs, whole grain breads, fruits and nuts mostly lucky lean meats are good for you just not to big of a piece. I lost 25 pounds thst I did not need to lose but I do feel better then before.

That is what happens as you get older if you don't take better care of yourself like you said. I'm as guilty as you are.
I have quit all the things you've mentioned except for milk (only skim) and butter. I can't see eating the fake butter with all the chemicals they use. You don't even have to refrigerate margarine like you do butter.

I take simvastatin for cholesterol. My last physical cholesterol was 148. What statin drug did they give you to drop from 240 to 123? That's a huge drop.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I’m in the same boat. Felt like crap for about the last year and finally went to the doctor. It was my A1C. Cut out the pop and little Debbi cakes and it’s helped a bunch. Keep on keeping on.


Looks like he needs another year;-)

They must have given you a mega dose to drop your cholesterol like that. Dark meat chicken has more cholesterol than white meat. I only eat white meat, don't like the taste of dark meat.

Its hard because you have to change Two peoples diet. I did similar to what you did Jerry last year. Worked wonders but the Wife can not stop baking, its in her blood. She also has no problem with cholesterol.

Your getting it but still room for improvement.

Quit all sugar drinks also fruit and juices, the only fruit you can have is a avocodo, I recomend one a day. And quit all bread and pasta. If you want to eat bread and pasta make it from almond for coconut flour.

Do eat butter, salt and good fat, like olive oil, coconut oil, cheese,meat fish and eggs all you want, eat green lefy vegies evey day, keeps you fromgetting consipaded.

Dont avoid fat, and calories dont matter, eat animal fat. Justs avoid carbs and sugar of all types. You will lose weight eating fat belive it or not.

A close friend drove over the road for work and was concerned about becoming diabetic so ate alot of grapes thinking it was healthier than truck stop garbage. Didn't take into consideration that grapes are high in sugar and now his worst fears have come true. Had the right idea but didn't do the research.
