I feel great after eating avocado.
Me and my girls started eating avocado last year and we love it too with a little oil, lemon juice and tomato. I was stunned to learn the fat content - it has 30 grams of fat in one avocado - sure its not the artery clogging kind but it can add extra calories. They're very good for you in moderation though. When you eat bread, do you eat whole wheat - that takes longer to digest but still has the gluten in it. Instead of ice cream you can buy sherbert, which is low in fat.

Add the supplement 3/6/9 fatty acid and this will supply your brain with good fat. You can also add a garlic supplement which is supposed to lower cholesterol. I recently discovered a tea called Matcha Tea - its a powdered green tea. It supplies the anti oxidant equal to 10 cups of green tea. Its more expensive and suggest getting it at a Chinese Market because its $30 in tea or vitamin stores.
