Bought mine at Kohl's today . Had to get black only drawback, but, it's either that or wait 2-3 wks. So, I got the black 6 qt black NuWave Brio that they had on last night during David's show

By the time they had Thurs. sale ad in the paper with tax it came to 112.00. Using the 10 bucks off and the 20% off of the sale price of 139.00.

No waiting for me !

My chloresterol is high and Dr. told me to get it down below 200 or I'll have to take pills. So, I'm starving to death (LOL) cutting back on sugars and fats. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Girl in here posted how she did whole sweet potatoes, I got to find and print what she said. Reading the manual right now. I want to do maybe once a week , fries, shouldn't kill me. I have the NuWave round one, so, I've been cooking salmon it it. So, now, I can do fries in one and salmon in the other

just experimented with frozen fries they said 15 min too brown. I cut it down to 10 did lot better, next time will cut it down to 8 probably. Don't want a hard fry. So, far, I'm liking it pretty well. No greasy food.

@SharkE For your cholesterol, I suggest fruit and steel cut oatmeal. I lowered mine significantly by just increasing my fiber, which I love fruit and oatmeal, so I had that almost every day for breakfast and fruit throughout the day instead of a sweet. Sweet potatoes are super for fiber, so baked or lightly air fried should be enough. Lots of fibrous fruit and veg and less meat should really knock your cholesterol down quickly.

@SharkE. Did your doctor also tell you that high cholesterol is often inherited and can't be controled by diet or exercise? I take Simvastin which dropped my cholesterol like a rock and is supposed to also have other benefits.

Thank you hun. I've took to eating oatmeal for breakfast with that quinoa stuff in it and even the steel cut oats. Even swilling down shredded wheat !

Take 2 tablespoons of Metamucil every morning in 8 oz of orange juice.

Just the dietary fiber supplement not the laxative. LOL

Just had a colonopsy in Sept they said needed more fiber to keep things 'moving along', so, that's why I stepped up the fiber.

After lab blood work, they said "cut back on butter ', so, now I'm all into spray on 0 sat fish and 0 trans fat 'butter'. My blood sugar was 5.5 not a diabetic, but, they consider 5.7 and above to be a diabetic, so, I got to watch sugar , also. My sister is a diabetic just on pills. I don't want to take anything more then I have to, so, now I can't have sugar, fats, anything but straw in the field with water. Guess I'll go out and stand with the cattle. LOL

My life is so exciting. LIve in Tx. and don't dare utter "can't have beef".

LOL I always liked chicken and turkey , so, praise God that's no hardship.

SharkE — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 23:28:35 GMT

@Kachina624 I'm gonna see if I can lick it by changing my ways. I did over do it with the butter. I bake all the time, as you know, so, I'll not eat what I give to others LOL

I'll run a test from somebody other then the Dr. in a yr. and see if I can do it my way or not.

Did they change the numbers ? I was thinking 300 was considered high, is it now 200 ? My number is 223.

@SharkE. You can cook lots of good chicken dishes in your PC. I eat a lot more chicken than beef.

Re: NuWave air fryer

SharkE — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:35:51 GMT

Yeah, @Kachina624 I'm not going vegetarian , but, when I do eat beef, pork, will be small servings. LOL

Do you know that health food store in Amarillo ? May not had been here when U lived here, but, I went there on Mon. and a man that worked there when I explained how I was cutting back on sugars and fats told me I couldn't eat fruit. What ! He said "fruit spikes blood sugar". Maybe, but, it would be temporary and if your not eating sweets you have to have some kind of sweetie taste. He said I couldn't have fruitie smoothies either !!!

I love my air fryer--Power XL from QVC. Besides doing fish, steak, chops, etc. I find it great for heating up food from a restaurant. Doesn't make a bun or bread "mushy" like it did in the microwave. Very fast too.

Re: NuWave air fryer

Kachina624 — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 02:13:04 GMT

@SharkE.Thankfully, you not the health food store man will be planning your diet. Fruit is part of a healthy diet. He sounds like he was talking about a diabetic diet.

Re: NuWave air fryer

SharkE — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 02:28:39 GMT

I don't know @Kachina624 but, I don't want to live on beans and shredded wheat and rice. I got to have a piece of pie every now and again.

You deprive yourself to much and you start to rebell, etc. Then, it all blows up in your face.

You saw my picture I'm not a hog any way.

Kachina624 — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 03:04:03 GMT

@SharkE. You look fine to me. Weight loss is not your problem. Salmon is supposed to be good for you but i just cant make myself like fish. Its so strong in flavor. I would eat halibut but pass on salmon.

Re: NuWave air fryer

SharkE — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 15:52:51 GMT

@Kachina624 only fish I won't eat is those stinking sardines. don't like to see that black trout with eyes either in the fish displays at the store. I want stuff all cleaned up and no tail or eyes staring dead at you. LOL

Anybody know how to stop snoring? Hubbo is driving me insane sounds like

a chainsaw going at full speed. I got up and took to the couch one night he gets up at 3 or so then I go back to the bedroom.

Wonder if those beds that elevate your head are good? Everytime I fall asleep the whale starts blowing and I jerk awake.

This is what I have always heard and in my experience it is true. I live on cheese and butter and my cholesterol is perfect. It doesn't hurt to try diet but I wouldn't expect too much.
