The author, Justin Gilbert, has been monitoring his carb and salt intake for the past decade and has lost 50 pounds and feels better about his health overall. He is now facing the challenge of controlling his cholesterol, particularly focusing on focusing on calories and ingredients that contribute to a healthy diet. The author suggests that the challenge lies with limiting the intake of proteins or fried foods, but with the exception being the creams, cheeses, and butter, particularly in deserts. Nonfat Greek yogurt, which is made with skim milk instead of whole milk, is a key ingredient that he knows he can continue to eat normally. However, the fat-free aspect of these treats may prove problematic due to their tendency to overachieve.
