[quote=Anonymous]I am 45 and just had my lab numbers done for the first time in my life. Yes, I do admit, I am waay behind in the game.

Anyway I am one hundred percent sure the numbers are accurate because I totally fasted, no water/food prior since midnight the night prior.

Anyways, my M.D. is concerned because my bad cholesterol is at 138. She likes the number to be no higher than 100 she told me. She said she will give me [u]exactly[/u] 3 months to change my eating habits and then do another blood lab test and if my number is still above 100 she will put me on meds. Yikes!  :shock:

Also, she said my blood sugar level is 108 and she again, likes that number to be under 100 so she is giving me the same 3 month timeline.

She said I am at risk for cardiovascular disease as well as diabetes.

Are these numbers too high?? Also, does anyone know of any books or websites that I can read about what foods I should and should not be eating??

Because honestly, I do know fast food is unhealthy, but other than that, I really do not know.

For instance at the store tonight, I was buying milk and didn't know whether low-fat or reduced-fat was healthier for me. I wanted to ask someone, but didn't want to look like a middle-aged idiot. Lol.  :oops:  [/quote]
