Hello Wine Friends, it has been a while. But I have been lurking when I get a chance.

I saw this thread about diets and couldn't resist telling my good news. I have been struggling with my colestrol for about 8 years. My total colesterol has been as high as 500, even eating turkey sandwiches for a year at lunch did not help.

I had my yearly physical this week and total colestrol was 199! It had never been close to 200.

Earlier this year we tried the Atkins but didn't last long. But my new hobby is cooking. I use a lot of EVOO, garlic and fresh herbs in my cooking. I have also been making fruit smoothies in the morning for breakfast with soy protien. I still eat junk food in moderation. But I believe the cooking, fruit smoothies and of course, Wine has made the differance.
