In my family, no one is overweight, I am the ONLY one who is obese, but my health-nut Dad has cholesterol so high he is on meds, there is diabetes amoungst several relatives, and a high incidence of cancer with all the smokers in my family.
So here I am, almost 100lbs overweight, I've got low blood pressure, cholesterol of 182, great LDL/HDL & trigliceride levels, no diabetes. I attest this to the fact that I have never eaten junk food or fast food. My one and only indulgence was Starbucks Java Chip Ice Cream (I figured if I was going to eat something sweet, it HAD to be great, I cannot stomach low-fat, low-carb, low-taste ice cream). I couldn't tell you what's in a big mac or whatever.
So I know as I lose the weight I'll be even healthier!
