My juicer came in the mail today!!! (was borrowing my sisters) I am so excited! I considered a Breville Ikon, but decided on an Omega. We also got a cheaper, Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer for the cabin.
Having a great week, staying on task pretty well. I am juicing twice per day, eating 1 normal meal and snacking with the juice. A little tough this weekend with the holiday, but did pretty well overall. My appetite is decreased and I am getting fuller faster.
I GOT MY CHOLESTEROL BACK!!!! I realize I care about these numbers more than most, but remember I see sick people for a living so I know what they lead to. I am so excited because for the first time ever, I am in a normal cholesterol range!!
2004 Feb, 2011 Now
Total Cholesterol: 278 236 167
LDL (bad) 190 140 102
HDL 42 71 52
Triglycerides 160 124 70
I am not sure how much you know about cholesterol, but these numbers are remarkable. First of all, the 2005 numbers are really bad, especially for a girl in her 20s (bad genes, bad diet!) I have prescribed cholesterol medicines for many many people over the past 9 years and have NEVER seen a reduction like this!! Diet makes a difference!!! If I can correct something with diet, why would I take a drug? I am pumped!!! Start eating your fruits and vegetables! Put down that junk!!! Love!!

That is AMAZING! This really, really makes me want to start juicing. At my last physical my cholesterol was "elevated" (that's all they told me; I need to get the exact numbers). I want to see if I can get mine down like this.
ReplyDeleteSo, any suggestions on a good but affordable juicer? Remember I'm 1) Poor and 2) Cheap. :)
