James, have you attended any cholesterol or diabetes education classes?
I'd start there. I'm currently in such a class and find it all pretty
interesting. Next class will have some recipes included. Check with
your local hospital's education department. Diet change and exercise
will get you lower numbers faster than just diet alone. I hate
exercising but joined the Y four months ago and survive only with a
headset -- otherwise it bores me to tears. I watch TV and/or listen to
tunes or news while stepping along.

I've been logging all that I ingest for three days now and know wherein
some of my demons lie. The fact that I have a big *appetite* is tough,
too. I may take up chewing gum more.

Good luck to you, Sir.
