Hi there, I got my bloods back today and my lipid profile isn’t pretty. Will the BSD help sort this out if I follow it properly?

Help!!

Hi kelbel60s, the short answer is yes. I was always high on cholesterol levels (around 5.3) but after following this plan I am now in the 3’s – so normal. It is hard to get your head around the higher fats but it is not a high fat diet, it is a good fat diet. So you should be cooking with either coconut (near research proves it increases HDL without causing problems to LDL) or rapeseed oil, use olive oil for salad dressings and eat plenty of avocados, nuts (especially walnuts), olives etc. You will not be eating loads of these things as they are high in calories but enough to make a difference. One big difference is you will be eating natural foods rather than the chemically changed ‘low fat’ substitutes. Oh, and eggs are okay too, not true they increase cholesterol.

Oh wow, that’s awesome. My cholesterol was extremely high and the Dr wanted to medicate me right away. Are you doing the 8wBSD or 5:2?
