||| diets. If you're already eating the almonds and walnuts,

||||
|||| Maybe it was the kind of beef, but when I used to eat red
|||| meat every day, my LDL went up even more, and came back
down
|||| when I went back to chicken. This was mostly beef brisket.
|||| With that kind of LDL reaction, in what way would red meat
|||| be my friend?
|||
||| I am not familiar with brisket. Would it be prepared in
||| some way where it would have added carbs? I don't eat a lot
||| of meat, but when I do eat it, it's almost always beef.
||| Either roast beef or hamburger. I am not much of a meat
||| lover at all. Prefer a vegetarian diet, but chronic anemia
||| requires me to eat beef at least once or twice a week.
||

Smoked brisket is a staple here in Texas. One of my favorites.
