Odd...

A few years ago, my cholesterol was at 248. Doctor insisted I needed to see a nutritionist, despite my eating the healthiest I ever had. Nutritionist concurred, and I cut out the one remaining cholesterol-laden item in my diet: cheese. Eight weeks of cheeseless hell, and my cholesterol did indeed change. To 272. Quack doctor threw Lipitor at me, and when I complained about *bad* muscle aches and 15lbs of weight loss, insisted I just needed a painkiller... apparently he missed the little tidbit that a full 1/6 of the US population seems to be allergic to statin-class cholesterol drugs, and I was showing the exact signs. Idiot.

Well, recently I've been eating somewhere between crappy and decent, and I haven't been to a gym or sweated in exercise in... months, maybe a year or more.

Yesterday my cholesterol was 223.

Let's hear it for eggs!
