When I first got my diet going in the right direction, I found that I felt less tired, and less sedate. I felt better and I have been trying follow the guidelines suggested here by Heather. I have a medical appoint next month and hopefully I will find that my cholesterol is much lower.
Before getting the connection in my diet, I felt like it was hard to move around, and hard to breath and a tighness in my shoulders and chest. None of these were actually serious, but I felt that maybe with the problems I have then it was probably because of the high cholesterol that I had for many years now, with out remedy. My Dr's had also tried the lowering meds but they also caused me more problems.
I recall the first day that I sat and ate nearly a ton of frosted cheerios. If you read the box, which I just happened to, you will find that they are soluble fiber. So suddenly I was a little kid again eating my cheerios.
Also my Dr had recommended that I increase my fiber both for IBS and for the cholesterol. Since I had a mild heart attack in 1999, I was very willing to do anything to get healthier. My first week I ate cheerios and white bread. For the first week in 7 years, I was feeling better, and knew I had turned a corner. Oh I still have problems but I am working on it.
Please stay strong and positive,
