Hi .. I'm a newbie here -- been veggie for thirty years or more and shocked to discover I have very high cholesterol and deposits in my heart arteries -- shocking ! But you are inspirational to me ... I just took the quiz, and oh, yes, I am such a carbo addict !!

Anyone here working on high blood prssure and/or cholesterol ? I'm concerned because I think I need to do no-cheese and dairy, and few eggs -- very limiting !! Any ideas much appreciated.

Today, inspired by you all, I have bought the Heller's heart-health version of the locarb WOE, but it still has a bunch of cheese and eggs, What do you think ??

I am SO HAPPY to have found this board !

Thanks -- looking forward to this adventure ! ( And I'm in New Zealand so some foodstuffs may have different names ..... )
