@Troubled1 mentioned to me on a previous post a few weeks ago the following three day protocol as something that could be considered to try and lower high bad cholesterol just before a cholesterol test see:
http://cholesterolcode.com/extreme-cholesterol-drop-experiment/
As I had very high Cholesterol last time and was told statins were important for me to reduce my cardiac risk and as I don’t want to take them. I’ve thought about giving this a go to see if it would work for me. I’ll be having test next month and need to work out what’s best.
Thought it was worth asking if anyone on here had tried it and if so did it work?
Notice on reading the code that although you need to eat lots of fat in the three days before it shouldn’t be coconut oil as this works differently! I’ve been upping my coconut oil in preference to other saturated fats to date in the hope this may lower my cholesterol so find it interesting that the body deals with coconut oil in a different way!
@Troubled1 - did you try it or is your test not due yet?
I’ve also been advised by supportive forum members previously that it may have been caused by my weight loss as I had lost 30pounds in the three months up to the last test in December - in which case it may be that it will have come down naturally although I have lost another six pounds since then so it may not have stabilised enough by my next test! I have also thought about trying to delay as long as possible until have had a reasonable spell of time at a stable weight.
Any ideas, opinions or suggestions welcome.
