Dear all,
Being over 40 and falling to bits (statistically) I attended a 'Well Man' checkup last week and after two years living like a monk and eating ½ metric tonne of porridge I'm delighted to announce my cholesterol has plummeted from 6.5 to 6.4.
I have however lost 2kg in the same period - possibly the colonic irrigation effect of the porridge?
Apparently my 'bad fat' has come down and my urine is ok.
I can either stop at Tesco on my way home to get a big lump of cheese, a pound of butter and a box of Statins OR pick up the Gwyneth Paltrow DVD on making a wholesome meal from a pair of old sandals?
The nurse suggests I try a bit harder with my diet and have a retest in 6 months rather than go on Statins, but what do you all think - I haven't got a clue?
I wouldn't mind but I don't have a bad diet....it's not like I can just 'cut out the pies and KFC' so I wouldn't know what to cut out?
Any suggestions before I add depression to the list, or should I just make a will now?
