Cholesterol Lowering Diet

Do You Have High Cholesterol And Need To Lose Weight Too?

Trying out the Cholesterol Lowering Diet may just be the option for you. Starting out on the diet you may be somewhat skeptical, I know I was, but it does offer you some useful techniques on how you can lower that high cholesterol and lose some weight too.

Keep in mind there is good and bad cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the kind that can cause plaque build up on your arteries.

HDL is the cholesterol that helps protect you from a potential heart attack. Balancing these two types of cholesterol is the best way of lowering the bad cholesterol and losing weight.

I started off the diet by adding in soy and extra protein and fiber into my diet. I started drinking a fiber drink three times a day and after the first couple days I started feeling better. I was more regular and didn’t have an issue with feeling like my day was consumed by feeling like I couldn’t even get out of bed.

The Cholesterol Lowering Diet isn’t too hard to start and watching what kinds of food I was eating, was not too hard. I ate a lot more “low fat” foods and just kept with the meal plans that were given to me in the diet guide.

I set up an appointment with my Dr. to have my cholesterol tested and within a week I had dropped it 5%, I was thrilled. I felt like the diet was working great!

Keeping up with the diet and all that I had to do everyday was very simple. I just stuck to the meal plans and kept away from unneeded cholesterol. I never thought I could be a vegetarian by any means, but switching up on what I was eating and how much I was taking in, wasn’t too bad.

The Cholesterol Lowering Diet was really working well for me and I was able to lower my cholesterol almost 25%.

I started to really want to just go back to my old lifestyle though, where I didn’t always have to worry about what I was eating so much. I wanted to enjoy things more. Therefore, I stopped the diet, and maintained my lower cholesterol in a different way.

I found that doing this diet was not really to awful, but it wasn’t something I could be on for the rest of my life. I was happy with the results I saw and will not complain about lowering my cholesterol as well as losing about 20 unwanted pounds.

I did feel better and looked better as well. I would more then likely offer the Cholesterol Lowering Diet to my friends if they were suffering with bad cholesterol.

I don’t think I would have lowered my bad cholesterol as much as I did without trying the diet and sticking to it for the time that I did. It just wasn’t something I wanted to have to do for the rest of my life.

I found other ways to keep my cholesterol at a safe level and I am not worried at all about it getting bad again. If by chance it does, I may just turn back to the diet for a short time period.
