My pre-statin workout was 2 1/2 hours a day. I absolutely must
exercise. I think that may partly be my problem with statins. As you
know there is some literature about statins, exercise and athletes.

I am just intrigued by this idea of eating a very limited diet. Have
been reading about it. It seems to me the NA BMI is too high for
anyone.

I think we do not try diet and exercise hard enough (most of us) before
we give over to statins. One month or three seems to be what physicians
advise before whipping out the prescription pad. I think one year would
be more realistic. Physicians should be able to "prescribe" gym,
dietary counselling. Money that would be used on bypass surgery could
be moved to this. One Canadian province is talking about giving tax
credits for gym memberships.
