Well......since I got turned down for a certain health insurance policy a
couple of weeks ago because my cholesterol level were a bit out of whack, I
have gone on "the diet". I still have health insurance, mind you, I just
wanted to change to a different policy and now I've got to stay with what
I've got for a while. What I'm doing now is more like "my diet" than "a
diet", actually because it's pretty much what was a normal diet for me about
20 years ago and it just sorta evolved naturally when I was just a young
sprouthead.. No red meat.or chicken............just lots of fruit, nuts, raw
veggies and the occasional boiled egg and some cheese now and then.......but
mostly raw foods and juices. I broke out the juicer that had been gathering
dust for many years (though I will buy the more high quality bottled Knudsen
stuff occasionally for convenience). Energy levels way up. I've lost 9
pounds in the last 14 days and I haven't been hungry at all. I had forgotten
how much those heavy greasy foods slowed me down and how crappy they made me
feel. At some point my life got wayyyyy to busy, these kinds of food were
easier and more convenient and I just lost my dietary focus........but
no.....you're not gonna catch me wearin' patchouli.
I figure, to put it in perpective, whipping up a quick and healthy meal is
much easier than reading a &^%$#*&^(!& Roland manual.
;o)

Another way to lower cholesterol is to get a lot of soluble fiber in your
diet. Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract, and since
you don't really digest the fiber, the cholesterol passes out with it.
Legumes and grains have a lot of soluble fiber, as do apples and other
fruits. A google search should give you an extensive list.
Yet another dietary cholesterol reducer is Omega 3 fatty acids, which also
have a lot of other health benefits. The top three sources for these are
flaxseeds, salmon, and walnuts. I just buy the bottled fish oil and throw a
tablespoon into my daily protein/vitamin shake.
I think patchouli's for Lesbians nowadays anyway. You'd probably be better
off with sandalwood, ya big hippie.

Sux about getting turned down, but it might have been a great wake up call...
Anyway, take one day and eat just fruits and veggies...cholesterol will drop
dramatically, as will blood pressure, etc...
Also, helps things move along quite nicely, if you catch my drift...

I always liked the smell of patchouli. I guess that's 'cause I'm a
lesbian trapped in a man's body.
