If you have high cholesterol, you may NOT need expensive drugs to bring it down. Now we tell you how you can eat your way to lower cholesterol AND a trimmer bod.
The most recently published PortfolioEatingPlan study shows how this dietary approach can work outside of a controlled study, in “real life.” In the first three phases to date, participants were given all their food, and required to eat enough food to maintain their body weight, because the research team wanted a controlled study showing that the decrease in cholesterol was a result of the foods eaten, not because of weight loss. In addition, the approach was nearly vegan – no meat, fish, poultry or dairy was allowed, and only an occasional egg could be included.
