It has been a while since I added any information to this blog. The delay was in part due to work, appointments and waiting for test results.
It turns out that I did loose over 10lbs on this diet but I have much more to loose. My goal however was to get my cholesterol lower. This diet failed me. According to my doctor my numbers have risen rather than lowered. He is worried about my triglyceride levels, apparently they are incredibly high. He suspects that carbs were the problem with my diet. Even whole grain pasta, breads and wraps are too high in carbohydrates. These were permitted in the diet, so I did not limit them very much.
It looks like I will be on medication after all.
