I got in my most recent cholesterol screening results and things are looking pretty good.

Supplements

I take 1/2 in the morning and the other in the evening. I occasionally miss a dose, but not too often.

Diet

Chicken, Black Beans, Green Beans, Onion

This isn’t ALL I eat, of course, but it is the staple of my diet. Once a week I substitute red meat for the chicken. I also pretty much add in pickled jalpenos every time too.

I greatly reduced my intake of processed carbs: bread, pasta, sugar and the like. I also have pretty much eliminated dairy, although I do occassionally eat some cheese (and add whole milk to my single cup of coffee in the morning).

I’m not super strict, but I stick pretty close to the no processed carbs rule.  Maybe 6 – 8 meals a week I deviate, and eat pizza, or Thai, a sandwhich, or even a Big Mac! But mostly I stick to the diet about 80% strict. I do snack on trail mix and the occassional bag of peanut M&Ms.

I eat regular dinner with the family, a small portion of whatever it is.

Results

Total Cholesterol (<200)

Triglycerides (<150)

HDL (>40)

LDL (<100)

Ratio (<4.98 for normal risk, <3.44 for half risk )

As you can see, the supplements and dietary changes have made a significant positive difference in my cholesterol profile. Hey, if I can do it, you can too!
