@contentandwell Genetics can play a role it is said. For me it is mostly carrying an extra 15 lbs and not enough exercise. My diet is healthy. Also when my thyroid Med starts doing differently. I know I take it faithfully and play by the rules. Have not a clue. I ceased eating eggs for 6 months. My cholesterol went up 30 points. This cholesterol thing has me bamboozled. All the positive, negative, cosmic what and hunh about fat has become just that for me. I still eat eggs. I am not convinced they are the enemy.
