For me I had always eaten "normal" - meat, grains (whole and refined), lots of vegis and fruits. This "balanced" diet worked for me until about 5 years ago. As I get closer to menopause, I noticed the weight was creeping up on me and my lipid panels just got a little worse every year. I personally don't think total cholesterol or LDL are really the demons that they made them out to be but I tend to believe triglycerides is an independent indicator for heart health. So I am happy I got it down. Without meds. My next step is to refine the process and maybe try to optimize it.
OK
