Not over weight 140, my waist is 34". We changed everything, 1% milk, fat free dressing, fat free YOKE free noodles, Margerine is fat free, cook in canola oil, I quit smoking 5 yrs ago, quit drinking 18 yrs ago....WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? Thanks for any advice
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no............

this is exactly my story.

my triglycerides are now beautiful.

don't worry about eating fat. eat full fat everything - butter, cheese, meat etc.

but do cut WAY WAY WAY down on carbohydrates. no bread, pasta, rice, fruits and starchy vegetables.

i know it is hard to believe - but it works for me. i am willing to bet it works for you too.
