Ghee, other Q's for lowering cholesterol

[Blaundee]

Thank you every one

As for the wraps, spring rolls, pitas, etc.... HOW do you wrap/contain them? lol I used to send Hubby off with wraps, but they wont fit in a sandwich baggie (which I wash & reuse), plastic wrap is expensive, cant be reused, and is difficult to open while driving. If they aren't wrapped up, they will dry out (it is very dry here!) even in a little plastic Glad container.

Wax paper, and maybe then in a bigger plastic bag if it needs more protection from the drying elements.

If you cut them in half, both halves should fit into your sandwich baggies? (I think anyway, I don't buy them) My girls cut them in half and take them to school in sandwich containers, both halves fit nicely.

Just my 2 cents worth, but I had the same problem a couple years ago. Fried foods, breads were my weakness and over weight. I cut out the fried foods and breads and lost about 65 lbs all with a few months and numbers came back in line and have been ever since. Now the rest of the story I went hungry every day for at least 6 months untill my stomach shrunk and I've learned since then that portion control also plays a big factor if I eat to large portions and my weight creeps up my numbers go back up (go figure). I also want to say someone mentioned PBJ sandwiches PB is loaded with cholesterol, Emerald is absolutely correct all fake food is a killer when it comes to tri and cho. I have also found fresh meat (I eat deer, speedgoat and no processed meats) doesn't bother me as long as I watch the portion. I carry a lunch 98% of the time and I do a lot of soups and stews (homemade) in a thermos (makes it easy I just turn it up and drink) also eat oat meal and I drink 2% milk and it doesn't seam to bother me. Last but not least I'm still hungry sometimes but have learned if I don't stay skinny as a pole my numbers go back up and the brisk walking is a must if no access to a gym, most days if weather permits I do at least 2 miles (okay I'll get off the soap box).

It's the bad hydrogenated oils that they add to commercial peanut butter that aren't good for you--all natural peanut butter (nothing but the nuts) is great

Yep, bad oil in the peanut butters, breads, cakes, cookies, fake spreadable butters(real butter is NOT spreadable!) and even mayonnaise and salad dressings are loaded with the bad oils. I know, I'm allergic to soybeans, and soybean oil is the most commonly used in these products I never realized until I figured out my food allergy and started watching. Just eat real food. That stuff isn't real food! I make my own, and you can use healthier, better oils to make your mayo and such. And no doctor is going to tell me to not eat my eggs

Peanut butter contains no cholesterol, as it is a vegetable product. As stated, it can have other things - bad fats, trans fats, sugars - but pure peanut butter isn't bad for you.

I'm so glad you asked, because I was dying to find out too I even googled it and found nothing... (well bicycles, but I don't think that's what she means...)

First I was referring to processed PB.
Second a speedgoat is an antelope.
Moolie I,m a real old he.
