I am considering going moving from non-fat Greek yogurt to a higher fat percentage version to help. Am I being overly concerned about the fat content in the eggs and dairy?
About dairy? I'd suggest not. Just stick to non- or low fat. The eggs, IMO, yes. You are losing out on a nutritient dense food by cutting out the yolks. They will not increase you cholesterol.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
