Thanks so much for your quick reply. That's pretty much what I had been told, except I am allowed 1 serving of soy 2-3 times per week. I, too, love broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage - raw. It loses something when it is cooked. I'm 60 and have 2 dairy per day.
I can tell you that my chloresterol is excellent - 121, Triglycerides are 55, Good is 50 and Bad is on the low side at 60. My doctor attributes it to eating right but most of all to good genes.
I eat mostly chicken, fish and pork, with beef maybe once a week. I love oatmeal and whole wheat products. It took me a while to get used to it, but it is becoming second nature. What I have to watch out for now is portion size. If I don't periodically weight or measure my food, my 1/2 cup becomes 1 cup, 4 oz. becomes 6 and up goes my weight.
I eat 5 times a day, small amounts, and try to have some protein or dairy with each meal. It seems to stick with me longer when I do.
My biggest downfall is popcorn. I allow myself I serving on Sunday afternoon for a treat. Otherwise, I'd be eating it every day.
Keep us posted!
