Eating Healthy

After buying my lunch and heading back to my desk, the guy who checks everyone’s ID (before you enter the elevator, required here at the Ren Cen) said “that is a healthy lunch”. I had a salad and a banana (and no pop/soda).

The doctor told me I need to eat salad because the fast food options I have here at work are probably too fatty. I went to see the specialist (doctor) because my triglycerides were 1800 while fasting for 8 hrs and 1300 after fasting for 12 hrs.

My wonderful wife cooks amazing food (always takes great!) and I doubt that is the problem. I rarely eat much for breakfast, usually a ceral bar and some juice. I truely believe there is another cause which the doctor seemed unable to determine.

He also suggested exercise, which I’m trying to get. Before I had volleyball on Wednesdays, and now we have softball on Mondays. But he said it was the wrong kind of exercise, I need to stay active for 15-20 minuts straight like running/swimming, not stop and go sports. Unfortunately I don’t have lots of extra energy to do things like that, which is ironic because triglycerides (I think) are energy the body hasn’t converted. It seems like a circle!

Maybe DDR is the answer!

    My husband also has high triglycerides and I was very worried about him. We changed our way of eating, next week it is going to be his second exam to check if our diet had worked!!! If it worked, maybe I can tell you some tips :) Take care!!!

    Please share the results. I'm rather upset with the doctor not treating the cause and just giving me medicine to treat the symptoms. I assume your husband's doctor told him that it could lead to pancreatitis (which is supposed to be very painful).
