The cake is a HUGE meringue. I recently discovered I have very high cholesterol. My GP wanted to put me straight on to statins but I said I would like to adjust my diet and try to bring my cholesterol level down naturally. He gave me 3 months to do it! I'm just over 2 months in. It's been good for me and made me think hard about what I eat. I thought I ate a healthy diet but actually it wasn't as healthy as I thought. Too much butter, cheese, full fat yogurt and chocolate. I soon discovered that meringue doesn't have saturated fat in it and neither does Prosecco, thankfully.
Happy Birthday Sue! I can empathise! I too am on a mission to reduce my cholesterol & bring down my hba1c (blood glucose levels) I have until the end of June. Have up to now lost a stone & half in weight & have reduced fat & carbs intake! Fun getting older isn’t it ! 🤔
Happy Birthday great substitute for cake! I’ve got raised cholesterol but my doctor won’t put me on statins as apparently I fall in the government guidelines of below 10% that’s not at risk 😬
