Thanks for the reassurance, I feel better already—the whole "in control" of your body thing is the main component for me in the 5BD, and to hear that the Paxil is nothing more than an appetite increaser and not a med that has chemicals that will effect my weight BEYOND MY CONTROL is a BIG relief. Thanks again, you made my…[Read more]

I am going to try 150mg of Wellbutrin instead of 300mg and see if I can tolerate that along with the Paxil, and maybe it will help my hunger side effect of the Paxil

is that all it is, just that Paxil increases your…[Read more]

I am a bit of a hypochondriac, but it worried me that I’ve been a vegetarian for 2 years and always watch what I eat—but I will stay away from cheese and not start a statin, I am glad you advised me against it, I hate taking meds unless I have to.

HDL Cholesterol 84 mg/dL
VLDL " 11 mg/dL

Total: 208 mg/dL

LDL Cholesterol 113 mg/dL

Also I noticed that there were other things highlighted in the report, and am wondering if I should be concerned that those numbers, as well, are not in the average range?

The dr I do have is so busy I only get to speak to his nurse if I’m lucky.

I called this morning and my HDL (I think that is what it is) is 208 and my LDL(?) is 113; what do you think of those numbers?Post edited by: Tadpole, at: 2008/08/19 15:26

But I did call my mom and dad about it and both of them are indeed on cholesterol meds and mom’s dr even told her that even if she "ate only dirt" she would have high cholesterol.

Yes, I did many many days of just 2 2.07oz Snickers bars—there were some days that I ate a veggie burger with one piece of bread split into 2 as a "bun", also another substitute was a breaded soy chicken pattie with a slice of bread as the bun.

Thanks for responding—-I was curious about that; if one meal a day was dangerous for maintenance, even though it feels normal for me. And you are right, that’s what got me to the 95 lbs. —-Five Bite Diet—-literally, 2x a day. No way to fail if you eat only 2 2.07oz Snickers bars a day, that’s for sure. :cheer:
