text: My Husband is on these same meds.  It is a challenge.   He does his very best when eating almost NO starches.  If you cut out the white and wheat starches (potatoes, all breads and flour products, rice, of course pasta as it is made with flour).\n\nInterestingly enough when you stop these you will eat very little butter.\n\nWe do walk one to two miles each evening.\n\nWe have been bad since the week before Thanksgiving and are looking and feeling a little blimpy.  But we will be good again for three weeks, till Christmas and new years.\n\nRead your side effects, you will probably find it is the meds causing a lot of the problem.\n\nAre you using lemon in water every day?  It contributes to leveling your blood sugars.  We also drink diluted Cranberry concentrate from the health food store. One pint is $17.00 and makes two gallons with water.  We drink 6 oz before and between every meal to flush poisons out of our systems.  It is quite effective.\n\nThis is from THE FAT FLUSH PLAN  It is a quite effective weight plan.\n\nGoing very light on meats will help your triglicerides emormously and lower the three month test.  Cutting out all pork made a huge difference.\n\nGood luck.
