Just want to be healthy

ibboykin

55 y/o male just enjoying getting healthy.
After being diagnosed with high BP, high cholesterol, and elevated blood sugar I said enough is enough.
After hearing my doctor and his nurses telling me "diet and exercise, diet and exercise" but not really getting into the diet aspect, I finally demanded a referral to a dietician.
I met with her and got a clear path to a healthy lifestyle. I love to cook and eat good food and the dietician helped me see I can eat totally healthy and still have great food.
I love scouring recipes on the internet that look good to me then playing with the ingredients so the recipe fits into my lifestyle....I hate the word diet, it implies temporary.
I started in October, I have lost 20 lbs, I recently had some blood work done...BP is maintaining normal, I've brought my cholesterol within normal limits, and I dropped my blood glucose 12 points. All just by a common sense approach, eating healthy, and exercising.
Enjoying the journey.
