The AP's definitely made me gain weight.My cholesterol is about 6.8 I am in the UK,it shouldn't be over 4.I am also type 2 diabetic and started insulin last year which means another two stone weight gain,not good.Insulin makes you gain too as well as the AP's.
I try not to worry about it,I am 308 pounds so it is obese.I don't want to get any larger so I am looking into joining a slimming club.

I know the AP's and insulin have made me gain but there is scope for improvement because I eat a lot of the wrong foods too.That includes,bacon and brie paninnis at my favorite cafe, creme cakes, bakewell tarts,chocolate eclairs, sweet flapjack biscuits,( ten in one sitting), ice creme with chocolate etc.I also eat junk on visits to the cinema,crisps,fizzy drinks, hot dogs, muffins, carrot cake with butter icing.So plenty of scope to cut all that out and the result will definitely be lose weight!Not to mention lower blood sugar levels.
