It happens over a period of 20-30 years of bad eating. She says to throw away your salt shaker; it's alright to cook with salt and other spices but don't add anything once the food reaches the dinner table. I'm supposed to limit myself to 2 egg yolks per week; realistically, it's closer to 6. I'm supposed to stay away from ice cream and milk shakes as they are loaded with sugar and fat. Supposed to stay away from cheeses too. She says BBQ meat is OK but it's the side dishes like potato salad and macaroni salad that causes the problems.

So, the short answer is no, I haven't changed hardly anything. I have cut down on the salt intake but that's about it. I still love bacon and eggs and coffee in the mornings. I still eat Mexican food and pizza (loaded with cheese and fat) and ice cream. I just figure that since I'm 59, going on 60, that I don't have a whole lot more time on this planet and I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can.

How about you? Any changes in your life?
