I just found out that I need to avoid nuts. They shot my cholesterol up to 306. I'm trying to limit it to one donut a day.

That is a lot of weight gain for that amount of time. Talk to your doctor. Be sure it’s not fluid retention which could be a sign of bigger health problems. There are other medications to choose from if this is a problem. Best wishes to you. Rex

I've been in a vegetarian diet. It's the Krispy Kreme donut diet. They light up a sign when the diet donuts are fresh. I lost 35lbs. If it has nut in the name, it's a vegetable. They diet donuts are the ones that have the hole in the middle.
