Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Lidls version of the Nutribullet

Didn't know this offer was on. Got a Nutribullet pro for my birthday last December, with a view to improving fruit/veg intake and sorting out my frankly embarrassing cholesterol levels, which were measured at 6.2 about three years ago. That was the 'bad' LDL cholesterol. The 'good' stuff's reading was so low it registered as zero. Being a typical bloke, I made no changes and never went back to see had it improved or otherwise. 'Be grand', I thought. Anyway, about a month ago I took a notion to go for a recheck, just to see where things stand today. Now, just for context, I made no other significant changes to my lifestyle. I was always active. Just had a terrible diet. The only change was diet. Just the smoothies. Spinach, porridge oats, yoghurt, walnuts, almonds, berries, fruit, honey and seeds. I have two a day, for breakfast and lunch. The big cup, full to the brim. Very filling.
When I went in for the blood test the nurse looked shocked. She'd expected to see a 25st man coming through the door, based on my old results. Obviously genetic she said. At serious risk of heart attack or stroke. Bad luck. Statins for me. Family history etc. A few days after the test I phoned for the results. She wouldn't tell me. I had to see the doctor to get them. I made the appointment and went in, expecting bad news. What I was told was that he had never seen such remarkable results, especially given that the only change (which he had a hard time taking my word for) was diet. So, I now have an overall cholesterol score of 4.2. I've taken it as a bit of a challenge. Triglycerides are still a bit high. They don't respond well to statins, so we're not bothering. I'll continue the food stuff, and up the aerobic exercise, and plan to go back for another test in August. Aiming to get it down to under 4.
Moral of the story? These yokes are a simple and effective way to eat really well. Use them. They don't belong at the back of a cupboard!0 -
