baby killers
Vegan? What would be a nice vegan breakfast ... hmmm I dunno. Some sort of muesli with plenty of nuts in it? Some nutty muffins, maybe? What other high-protein foods do you eat - nuts and tofu, is that it? Hmmm
Nope, I ain't vegan, although I have to eat like one sometimes!
Basically I'm intolerant to a lot of foods (and whatever people say about it being bull, believe me it's not) - red meat, dairy, eggs, yeast, cabbage (ha ha)..now, that wouldn't be so bad ( I don't feel sick if I have a small bit of dairy or a few slices of toast, but if I have an ice cream or cream or cheese I feel rank, and can feel horribly sick with cramps etc) BUT to add to this is that I found out I have high cholesterol - very very high. Which is bizarre as I'm not overweight, but it is basically a combination of hereditary high cholesterol and eating badly in college. I've always been a picky eater and ate fatty things a lot - but because I wasn't putting on weight, I thought I was grand. Turns out, not so.
So now I have yet another reason to stay away from dairy, red meat, eggs etc. Sigh.
My cholesterol went down but then I went and got it checked and it was really high again so over the last month I'm supposed to be on a strict diet, argh.
I'm not a saint, but I do my best. Although I have yet to cook with tofu...I hate most nuts but I eat seeds, pine nuts in moderation (very fatty), use soya, take benecol, have brown rice, Quorn, (made with egg white) porridge, flaxseed, olive oil, whole grains, don't eat bread regularly at all, don't eat chips, burgers, sausages, any fatty meat, fried food...
But I'm not a big vegetables person which is why I'm not veggie - also I eat chicken.
I also don't like fish very much and it's expensive (on a tight budget). I try to eat as much veg and fruit as possible but I should probably eat more.
Er, that was a very long reply....
really?!
mother of god...I never realised that could happen...feck sake. I wouldn't touch chicken skin if you paid me, but I eat quite a bit of chicken breast. It's really hard to find organic chicken breasts that aren't in packs of four or aren't really really expensive.
There's a farmer's market here on saturdays though so I reckon I'll go this saturday and see if they have them, load up and freeze them and make sure I defrost them when I need them!!
Ok, well thank god I just bought silken tofu (first time cooking it - any tips?!) and quorn in case the tofu turns out rank.

You should do some reading up on managing cholesterol by diet - the commonly-accepted low-fat method isn't necessarily the best way, there's quite a bit of debate. I've never had my cholesterol level tested, but from what I've read it isn't fat that causes excess cholesterol to be produced, it's calories, so eating too much sugar can have the same effect. I also read that eating food rich in cholesterol can reduce your cholesterol levels because it turns off your internal cholesterol production. Avoid the usual "eat healthy" sites, they all just say the same thing, and look for places that talk about the actual chemistry of cholesterol productionto add to this is that I found out I have high cholesterol - very very high.
Depends on the fish. Mackerel and herring are very cheap and very very nice, but they have to be absolutely fresh - eat em the day you buy emI also don't like fish very much and it's expensive (on a tight budget)

How high is you cholesterol, sweetoblivion? Do you know your LDL/HDL ratio? Don't let your doctor scare you, you might not be at risk at all. Why did you get your cholesterol tested in the first place?
