Hello,

I just had a fingerstick test done at a health fair, total chol=250. Results were ready in 5 minutes. Non-fasting.

This doesn’t seem accurate, as my cholesterol was 179 (real lab test) last time I had my bloodwork done in April 2007. When I had this done in April I had already lost 30 pounds due to changing my diet and eating healthy.

This is now October and I have lost 20 more pounds (total 50lbs since January 2007) and I have still been eating very healthy, high fiber, low saturated fat diet etc.

I was shocked to see 250! Are these fingerstick tests accurate? And even if not accurate, is it possible that it is off by 70-80 points?

Thanks

Soy products tend to upset my stomach, so I do not eat a lot of it. I exercise regularly, so I need to make sure that I get enough protein in my diet. I am looking for some good protein alternatives to meat and fish. I do eat low fat dairy products, and a few eggs (limited portions due to cholesterol). Do you have any good ideas for variety of protein sources for a vegitarian meal?? Thanks
I run regularly…4 to 7 miles per day, and more miles on my long runs. I also ride my bike, swim and lift (light) weights. I need to get a good balanced diet to permit my exercise activities. Any suggestions for books or online info sources for vegitarian diets for athletes?..Thank you!

I’ve been eating/drinking a lot of the new “Soup at Hand” Campbell’s soup containers lately, mostly consisting of Creamy Chicken, Cheese and Broccolli, Tomato, etc. Looking at the nutritional labels, they have low sugars, low cholesterol, and a moderate supply of protein and mono/poly fats. Plus each can contains 13 grams of carbohydrates. Would it be reasonable to say that going on a Campbell’s soup diet to accompany my cardio plan would be beneficial???

In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or noncaloric drinks daily.

How It Works
By some unspecified magical force, the combination of the suggested foods included in this plan is supposed to create a unique metabolic reaction and boost fat burning.

Without an author or book, there is no documentation or explanation of how the 3 Day Diet food combinations burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body, or lower cholesterol.

As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet lasts only three days, though it’s said that it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you alternate with 4-5 days of undefined “normal eating.” The purpose of returning to your usual eating style is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

Nina C asked:


I have a cholesterol level of 239 which is borderline/high risk. I am not currently on any medication for this high level. My doctor said a healthy diet and lifestyle changes should be enough to lower it. In the meantime, I am going to start taking Chantix, a smoking cessation medication, and I am wondering if this will be OK to take. Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks!!
You all have great responses, and I thank each of you sincerely!! I appreciate it.
