Got results back yesterday from doctor, cholesterol is 6.6 - now doctor says i should follow a low fat diet -
now i follow this low fat diet
1. will i lose weight with this diet as well? (as this is cholesterol related - bear with me if i sound doff
)
2. how soon after i start doing this diet, do i need to be tested again?
3. because of my high blood pressure, will it lower it??
4. what kind of foods should i be eating?
red meat to be avoided - what else should i be really
be avoiding - i do not have butter or margarine on my bread..
so no worries there..
as for my tummy problems - told him i am still experiencing burning pains just below the chest area, and getting lots of heart burn, he said it was because of the ailment i had - i was still bound to have burning which will work itself out eventually but he then gave me Pantaprazole for 28 days....basically antacid tablet - am i right Joan??
