Trying to improve my health one day at a time. Doing a ketogenic diet, low carb diet. Losing weight over the age of 50 is not easy or fun but we'll all be healthier when we get there!

"Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake." ! Anonymous That used to be me... but I am now committing to losing it... no longer can the thin person be sedated... in fact, once she arrives she might be a force to be reckoned with after years in the pantry! It is offensive to me that many people think overweight people do nothing but eat one goodie and another... I literally have nothing to eat in my refrigerator except eggs. I don't have cupboards full of bon bons... I don't order jumbo pizzas (or any for that matter) and eat them by myself. I don't hoard cookies. I don't eat breakfast, and often don't eat dinner... yet my thin friends eat constantly. This started out to be my journal to record my journey on Medi Weight Loss Clinic's program - I lost 50 pounds on that program in 4 months... it all came back rapidly when I tried to eat "normal" - as in eating fruits and more carbs...the Dr told me it would but I thought I had it figured out. He told me I probably couldn't go over 1,400 calories a day... surely not! He was right.
Now I'm doing it all over again......without joining Medi Weight Loss - I know what to do without spending over $100 a week.

Triglycerides - Produced from the foods we eat
Triglycerides and cholesterol are two different types of lipids in your
blood.
When you're finished eating, your body turns any unused calories
into triglycerides.
The triglycerides are stored in fat cells and then
released as energy when needed.
If you regularly consume too many
calories or you consume empty calories such as fat and simple
carbohydrates, your triglyceride level will rise
Triglycerides are fats produced from the foods people eat.
Certain types of foods, along with excess calories, can significantly increase triglycerides. At high levels, triglycerides can amplify the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke. Leading a healthy lifestyle and reducing or eliminating problematic foods are key to managing triglycerides.
