I have never been really heavy, just put on a few pounds every year since I quilt nursing babies and we got a barn-cleaner. But a few years ago I heard about eating eggs for breakfast. It's supposed to make you feel less hungry. That really works. At the same time, I have been eating a lot less sugar. Sugar as in white bread, white rice, granulated sugar, white stuff, etc. I ate butter, whole milk, and as much meat as I wanted. I know I felt better, but never weighed myself. I don't have a scale. Then I noticed that my wrists seemed to be smaller. I had lost 30 pounds in those two years without thinking about it. I hadn't really been trying to lose weight.
Now my doctor says my cholesterol is high and he wants me to eat margarine and skim milk. What do you think? No way! My ratios of HDL, Triglycerides and Total Cholesterol come out to IDEAL. I'm never going back to the low fat- no fat junk.
