well i love shrimp but it is just expensive, and I don't really like to eat too much of it - the American Heart Association says — Shrimp and crawfish have more cholesterol than most other types of fish and seafood. But they're lower in total fat and saturated fat than most meats and poultry.
And my mom who's on a doctor-ordered-lower-cholesterol diet says to stay away from shrimp
Yea, they are expensive. I think that page was suggesting alternatives to regularly high cholesterol foods, though, and shrimp was their shellfish suggestion. I think it's one of those things that they don't know a lot about yet. When googling it, I found pro and con shrimp pages. The expense is a good reason not to buy them. I just have this constant notion that anything natural isn't that bad for you. Except for like, beef spareribs and stuff like that.
Like some people are on diets where they can't eat any potatoes or carrots or tomatoes, and I think that's absolutely ridiculous. It's like, 'You could eat any healthy food you wanted if you just exercised!' Sheesh. I know that's not you, but I'm surrounded by these middle aged women who want to lose weight but don't exercise. It's infuriating.
yeah - it's ridiculous to cut out vegetables. I mean they have carbs but they are VEGETABLES. And yeah dieting without exercise is kind of retarted. Everyone looks for an easy way out.
