I just saw it's been over a year since I updated this blog. Nothing like consistency!
Overall, I went from 254 to 202, now am back up to 213 after the holiday eating season, so am hitting my slightly modified Wheat Belly eating plan again.
My last cholesterol check showed a total cholesterol count of 199, down from the 230 range on my previous check. That is without statins or any other cholesterol-lowering medication. It's also with eating eggs and full-fat cheese for breakfast almost every morning. My hdl (good cholesterol) was close to 70, which is an excellent ratio for hdl to total cholesterol. I'd been exercising most days, if only 20 or 25 minutes at lunch, and eating flax seed meal daily, usually with natural peanut butter (only ingredients peanuts and salt) on apples or bananas.
The rest of the blog gives more details on what I do and don't eat. I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but this has worked for me and my wife.
