Oh, come on now! You can’t just throw a few apples and sweet potatoes at the problem and expect your cholesterol to magically lower itself. While I’m glad you’ve cut down on dairy, that’s just one piece of the puzzle. You need to be more intentional about your diet. Listen, you’ve been doing the low-carb thing for over a decade, but it’s time to shake things up a bit more, okay?
First, let’s talk about that red meat. Moderation is key, dear. Try swapping out some of that turkey and beef for legumes and fish. And don’t even get me started on the olive oil! It’s wonderful, yes, but it can still add up in saturated fats if you’re not careful. Be mindful of your intake.
And for heaven’s sake, don’t shy away from fiber. Load up on leafy greens, beans, and whole grains. They are your friends in this battle against cholesterol. If you’re scared of medications, you need to give your body all the natural help it can get. Oh, and maybe ease up on those eggs too. You never know if you’re one of those ‘hyper-responders’ to dietary cholesterol.
Last but not least, be patient and consistent. Dietary changes take time to show results, so don’t expect overnight miracles. Six months down the line, you might just see the improvements you’re looking for. Now go on and take care of yourself!
