Rosa Alta I agree with ya. One needs to be very sure about this WOE.

My LDL has gone up a bit.. but look at HDL almost doubled..
and TG dropped from 1000 ft.

My home work says the following..I'm committed to this WOE despite
what experts have to say..

DOs:

1. Drink up water..
2. Eat moderate amount of quality protein
3. Eat moderate amount good fat (olive oil,avacado,nuts)
4. Loadup on veggies and low GI fruits.
5. Areobic/Anarobic exercise

Don't:
1. Avoid artificial sweetner.. and diet soda. Drink nothing but water..most of the time..
2. Don't eat lowcarb bar/candy,products ; these are expensive and generally have higer insulin response..
3. Don't eat processed meat
