At a recent checkup, my doctor told me that while my cholesterol was good, my LDLs could be lower. He suggested that I reduce my fat intake so we talked about my diet.

I explained to him that since I am hypoglycemic, I eat a lot of meat. He suggested that I switch from regular sausage to turkey sausage. So, the next time I went to the store, I purchased a package of turkey sausage.

The package said that it contained 50% less fat. When I looked on the back, it said 11 grams of fat per serving. Great! So, I cooked it up.

But, to my surprise, there was a lot of grease in the pan and it seemed to be as much as my pork sausage had. So, when I went back to the store, I checked out a package of pork sausage. It too had 11 grams of fat.

So much for that idea.
