What's this?

Couldn’t agree with you more.


Have to focus on what goes into the food you are eating.

All my adult life I have struggled with high cholesterol and triglycerides. No matter what I did, change my diet, lose weight, more cardio, take pills it would never get tomorrow the good range. It would get better but never good enough.

Last September I stopped eating meat for 4 months. When I had my check up in January he checked Everything again. My Cholesterol went from 264 to 150. My triglycerides went from 375 to 175. Literally the Only I did was cut out meat.

I am not necessarily an advocate of don’t eat meat although I do think it’s probably the most healthy way to go. But I do believe you should limit meat intake to special occasions maybe once or twice a month for the best cardiovascular health.

P.s. the meat I was eating was all grass fed, no hormones etc.
