Hi and Happy New Year to you all!

I've just registered today and want to start my new eating plan......Low-carb eating plan......today. Here's the deal....

I'm 58 and my cholesterol is now 235. My doctor does not want to put me on medication (yea!) so I started following her "orders" that I cut out all red meat, fats........well, you all know the line. This has been soooooooooo hard. Plus, I've been eating sourdough bread like I'm an addict! And from what I've been reading, I'm convinced I am!!!!!!!!!! My friend loaned me her Dr Atkins book last night. I have to admit that it's hard to understand that I can eat almost everything that the doctor said I can't!!!!!!! After looking at this site and printing out the other low-carb "diets" that are around, I'm not sure which one to choose.

If you have had high cholesterol, I would like to know which plan you have used and how it has worked.......what what hasn't? I'm also on blood pressure medication.

That's all for now.........I'll be anxiously awaiting a *message*!
Love and believe, Janet
