Low cholesterol diet

[Harold-R]

I just got back from the doctor and he has put me on a low cholesterol diet. What the hell am I going to eat when I go to Mexico? Oh well there is a bright side Beer and alcohol don’t have any.

No cholesterol = no meat, cheese, any dairy, seafood, or lard (manteca). Nice doc, he cares that you won't have a heart attack-hence the diet
However, with that being said, ask for a referral to a Registered Dietitian (RD), who can help you with making some good food choices in Mexico, and it will be covered under your insurance if your doctor approves it. He/she (the RD) can also advise you as to what foods contain saturated fat, which in most people's cases, increases LDL cholesterol, which is the major reason your doc put you on this diet and not the cholesterol....

There are some wonderful fruits, vegetables and corn tortillas that don't have cholesterol in them...and many different restaurants that will be willing to give you a vegetarian/Vegan (without cheese or dairy) option--ask at Babes for example to make a vegan dinner for you .
Have fun my friend

Hey, is there some kind of conspiracy going on here. The top thread was diet and exercise, then I scroll down to this.
Come on, it's Friday in Wisconsin ... try as you might to guilt me out of it, that means FISH FRY!!!
