Today I had a doctor's appt - actually my annual physical. My TSH was elevated, so a little hypothyroidism going on, my cholesterol is 204, but my HDLs, LDLs and Trig were within normal(desireable) limits. So she's prescribing something for my thyroid. BTW, I'm overweight and need to lose. She asked about my diet, eating habits. I told her I've been eating breakfast of either cold cereal(honey nut cheerios, raisin bran, or grape nuts) or oatmeal, sometimes with multi-grain english muffin with peanut butter. She told me not to eat cereal, carbs in the morning(after the age of 40 or 50) is the worse thing to eat. I'm suppose to be eating egg beaters, cottage cheese with fruit or veggies. She said I will never lose weight eating carbs for breakfast. I don't know if I totally agree with not eating cereal, its not like I'm eating a whole box at a sitting. So what's for breakfast? Any advice or comments?
