I've never been a fan of the one size fits all, less fat in means less fat in your blood, approach. Now carbs are being targeted as the primary demon with a newly published blind study to support that supposition. All things in moderation I suppose. Glad hubby is doing well.<br /><br />Mango MommaDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-91708990260247847602014-09-13T11:49:11.702-04:002014-09-13T11:49:11.702-04:00I've never liked butter.

Lately I find myself not really wanting to eat at all and have to remember to eat something each day.

We have been lucky enough to have healthy hearts and live by the everything in moderation rule. Also we walk for exercise (5 km/day). Glad to hear hubby is feeling better. Have a great weekend and hope you get to see some of the kids. No worries, and love, Carol.<br />P.S. Rory does look thinner but is only 1 kg less than before his embolism. I think he has lost muscle tone from lack of movement which we are trying to get back on him. He is a work in progress :-) <br />STELLA and RORY from Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254168437901406521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-45934182684878150692014-09-12T15:15:51.370-04:002014-09-12T15:15:51.370-04:00Hi Marjie, it's been forever since I've be...Hi Marjie, it's been forever since I've been in the blogging world ... except for yours! I check it every week. Anyway ... just had to comment about butter. Butter made from grass-fed ONLY dairy cows has a different chemistry than mainstream butter, and has been shown to be heart-healthy. I'll let the google-world detail all the benefits for you, but it might be worth checking out. Other than small local dairies, the only "brand" name butter I know of that is from the 100% grass fed only is the import brand Kerrygold. <br /><br />Still love reading your posts ... your blog is my favorite! Those boys of yours sure have grown into fine young men, and your girls are something to brag about 24/7! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! :)<br />Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852026112812638950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-63283831833747342602014-09-12T14:19:11.667-04:002014-09-12T14:19:11.667-04:00HI Marjie!

I hope you don't mind if I make reference to this post:)<br /><br />The fact that "hubby" is doing oh so much better is comforting enough for us to be sure of one thing, we must be aware of what we put into our bodies good, bad or otherwise. I have recently realized how absent minded I can be about nibbling for example. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this book reveiw Marjie and thank you to your new house guest, Natasha:) ~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8561388898364757356.post-14248116685641725592014-09-12T13:55:20.767-04:002014-09-12T13:55:20.767-04:00Natasha, that was a very interesting review! I ag...Natasha, that was a very interesting review! I agree that proper nutrition is an extremely confusing subject, and while neither Mr. RottRover nor I are trying to manage a ticker issue, we do try to eat healthy. I've come to rely on common sense since everything seems to change every 10 - 15 years. I am very pleased, though, that your Dearly Beloved is cooperating and feeling "the betterment" as we say in Blogville!rottroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040584911302243673noreply@blogger.com
