🤣😂🤣

Well, if that's your only vice, it's not a bad one! 😋

It may be 300, but there's a drug for that, no doubt.

I gave it up for Lent. Then decided to go the whole year. I crave it all the time.

If your cholesterol is really high, try citrus bergamot with red rice yeast; my numbers dropped 46 points within a month.

YOLO

We only live once.

Eat cholesterol busting porridge

I’m sure that’s better than Trumps true cholesterol level.

That's a great flavor! You must let us know what you think of this. bsky.app/profile/ronl...

I believe we are in the season of Eat Your Feelings.

It’s 11:11 and I just ate a half dozen buffalo wings. Pretty sure that’s a sign from angels telling me I made the right decision. 😂

Calorie worthy.

Life is short - enjoy 🍦

I did not know such a thing existed, I will now consume many bowls of oatmeal to prep my cholesterol levels.

Mine is 911.

I know how that is. My condolences. My downfall is Mac and Cheese.

Dear Molly, my cholesterol has come down to 250 with more meds. And last week I had a heart attack. Now I have a stent. Please take care of yourself. You’re worth it.

Omg!

They have pills for that👍 It's great.

300! You’re kidding right?

Is that high?

I just learned that gelato has less fat than ice cream so EAT UP!

Just back from a walk where I passed on moosetrack ice cream for which I have regret.

I made no bake cookies today, they didn’t turn out well, won’t firm up. If memory serves me right, the last time I was told, it was like 278ish.

Thank you for sharing. 🥰🍨

I’m a huge Nutella fan; however, have you tried . . . bit more expensive, but in a league of its own.

On the plus side, hazelnuts help reduce cholesterol.

I don't have any problems with my cholesterol, even though my doctor has me on atorvostatin

Not to brag, but I bet my blood pressure is higher than yours

I don't even care right now. If life as we know it is ending I'm going to be SO PISSED if I didn't eat the cheesecake. Live now.

Yes. Eat the cheesecake. Yes.

Sounds amazing!

You're supposed to have it checked after fasting, not after consuming a quart of Gelato. So you'll be fine in ten days or so.

Anita?

In aol time warner center

Ah, haven't been to that one.

When I was drinking heavily in the nineties I hit 343. You are fine.😀

My heart suffers, but my mouth lives in bliss. I chose mouth every time.

In Greece I had kinder Bueno flavored Gelato and lt was life changing. Also it was lunch and dinner for the next two days

My mom's was over 300 with meds and was 85 lbs. She lived to be 93. Cholesterol has not been sufficiently studied for it's effect on women. Subjects have been overwhelmingly male forever. Bon Appetit.

it has been sufficiently study to demonstrate that high cholesterol in woman late in life correlates with lower all cause mortality. it’s been observed many many times.

You mean the study with high LDL and longer survival? I just read that. Great! www.jwatch.org/na50908/2020...

can’t access but yeah. the function of cholesterol seems to be very different depending on age and sex. the strongest evidence that statins reduce risk is in middle aged men after a previous heart attack. most other groups. it’s a very slight benefit.

I want to believe you. My doctor though will need more convincing to let my numbers go.

Mine, too. However, I experience side effects for all the drugs for cholesterol that I have tried. So, she and I have settled on less fat, more exercise. If you don't have related diseases, cholesterol may not be an issue for you.

Thank you for your comment. Will be talking to her when I dee her about dropping it.

I'm waiting for my blood test request from my doctor. Hoping it and my diet has reduced it to, "range within" levels and can stop taking it. Used to be higher but, "was the least of my problems" for a long time. Love the notes doctor's write in your file. But will follow her anywhere. She saved me.

important point. a lot (most?) of the statin trials don’t accurately report side effects. they eliminate participants from the trial that have immediate adverse reactions. they don’t get counted. plus, benefits are reported as relative risk. if you risk is 1/1000 and it get’s reduced 10%. worth it?

i’ll see if i can find it. but if a 60-70 yo women otherwise healthy and no evidence of vascular disease? it’s crazy to start statins. they did it with my mom. luckily my mom doesn’t like drugs or seeing docs so she stopped taking cuz she thought they made her tired.

It forces me to eat when I'm not hungry but don't want to be sick. Will definitely talk to her when I see her. Thank you for your comment. 💙

Ooohhh!!

Ok once and a while

Well thank you for telling me. I just had a grape popsicle because my kids ate all the other ones.😡It was awful.

that sound so yum

I love you Molly!

This post had me dipping a banana in nutella.

Come to the Hamptons, Molly, and join me for a bowl of what I just finished. Home-made vanilla bean ice cream smothered in chocolate balsamic soaked fresh sliced strawberries. I’m in gluttony heaven.

If you love gelato, you’ve got to try the new Trader Joe’s Pistachio/Sweet Cream. It’s imported from Italy!

But your social battery is now full

😳

300 is good.

So, now run around the block 5 times! You can do it!🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

that would affect your triglycerides depending on your level of insulin resisted, not cholesterol. but yeah. it’s a joke. just thought a would do a bit of health ed.

Oooh! Sounds great. Maybe try making your own with one frozen banana, and some Nutella? A little less cholesterol maybe! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not advocating for high cholesterol, but sometimes it’s worth it..the soul needs a pick me up every now and then!

Good for you Molly! Peace through Gelato. All good.

Sounds like the good kind of cholesterol

My granddaughter has Nutella every stinking morning either on bagel or waffles, she would probably love it, thanks for letting us know they make ice cream 😀

Offer is on a banana

Gotta die sometime! 🤷‍♂️

Try van leeuwen ice cream…oh, my!

Cornbread and jam, oh sweet Jesus. Dangerous in my house.

Mine, too. I make ice cream cones—lasts a little bit longer.

Great tip! I hope I have the strength to avoid this scenario

Lipitor is the word.

But tomorrow you’ll be fine.

The key is not the total cholesterol but the LDL.

Sounds wonderful.

My cholesterol was way above 300 too.I would eat just greens, no oil, salt sugar, nothing except straight vegan for a year, but the cholesterol level didn’t go below 235. Enjoy the gelato 🍨.

Enjoy every single bite! ♥️

So worth it! It must have been so delicious! 😋

Lfgoooo

Well, as long as it was a treat and only happens occasionally… 😜

I’m old enough to remember a pose like this used to be ALL of Twitter.

Gelato is good with this too... bsky.app/profile/shan...

Gelato has less fat than ice cream, at least! —former gelato server

I think it’s the Nutella.

Gross. Gross. Yikes !

Nutella 🤢

Totally worth it. Cheers.

So, it sounds as though you’re good to go for seconds then.😁

👌, I guess?

Ooooo yum

Where did this happen?!

Gelato has much less cream (fat) than ice-cream, my brain says eat more, tho my diabetic genes say noooooo!

Honey. Please tell me you're joking.

I recommend trying Nigella’s Nutella Cheesecake! www.nigella.com/recipes/nute...

yummy

Am I the only one who has never tried Nutella?

But! It's nutella-flavored cholesterol so it's totally worth it

we're all going to die anyway...

Joni Ernst approves this message.

I love you, and more so that you’re reporting that.

Sounds fantastic. We ate gelato every single day while traveling in Italy. Every day.

Take statins. Start now. You’re welcome.

You gotta do what you have to do.

Hope you're eating enough apples.🍎 🫂
