lose 10 pounds in a week

Deciding to start a new diet in order to lower cholesterol is very daunting for most people. If you tried to make all the changes required around cholesterol and foods at once you would very probably be entirely overwhelmed. Also, undertaking change at this rate would almost certainly be totally ineffective, as few people would be able to accommodate such wide changes in one go. The answer then is take small steps, one at a time, each building on the other, until you have the full regime in place. This is the first step in a series of articles on “How To Lower Cholesterol”.

Step 1: Fats

First of all THE BODY NEEDS FAT, so it is not the enemy, it just needs to be controlled. When we talk about calories (obtained from fat) we are discussing the body’s source of energy. The reason weight loss and lowering cholesterol are all about lowering calorie intake is that in order for the body to use this energy, whenever it is required, there must be a store of it and if this store is larger than our requirements we become overweight and the excess cholesterol blocks our arteries.

When my doctor told me this I replied, “Well, what else is there left to eat?” She responded by telling me the following:

Items to eat:

Chicken
Fish
Turkey
Vegetables
Fruits
Whole Grain Bread

That day I went to the grocery store and changed my whole shopping list to satisfy the new foods. Not only that but exercise is a big important step to this. I started a new job that involved a lot of walking. Not jogging, not sit ups, but just walking. In no time at all it seemed like I had more energy and could breathe easier.

Does this really work?

It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be to stick to this new diet. I still had my sodas but just cutting out the foods that were unhealthy did wonders. I had lost 2 belt sizes so I was sure that something must be working. I couldn’t wait to go back for my 3 month visit to see how I had done. When the day finally arrived I had lost 16 pounds, weighing in at 189. My total cholesterol score had dropped to 155. My HDL had went up to 62, which is your good fat remember. My LDL, bad fat, had dropped to a 78. The most astonishing of all was my triglycerides which dropped from a 164 to a 74!
