Thanks much, Aaron. Alan's not kidding when he says you're a tomb of info.
I played around with Fitday and figured out my fiber intake went down by almost half when I started TNT. I'll start experimenting and go back to some daily oatmeal and fruit.

Avoid soybean oil at all! Avoid soy at all! Soy is hidden everywhere!
Hydrogenated oil is hidden everywhere!
Drink pure water! At least 3 liters daily.

I use real cheese, real butter, extra-virgin olive oil, dry-roasted nuts without salt. I stay away from processed and prepackaged foods since, yes, there is soy and hydrogenated oils in many of those.
Plenty of water, too. Probably more than 3 liters. My coworkers know not to keep me in a meeting for more than an hour because I have to trot off to the restroom.
Dhocott - interesting about the 3 month thing. Did the doc say that was for cholesterol in particular, or just blood tests in general?
