About this ebook
n May 2010 I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. By August 2010 it was coming down and by March 2012 it was staying down at a level considered safe by my doctor, and all without the use of statins.
I couldn't find much advice available, especially on particular foods to avoid or choose, so once my diet plan had worked, I wrote it all down to help other people.
From HEART UK's dietician, Linda Main: "Liz provides some practical common-sense ideas and advice which she has tried and tested to lower and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Her results demonstrate how a healthy balanced diet, low in saturated fat and high in wholegrain, fruits and vegetables and containing some cholesterol busting foods such as oats and nuts can be a central part of achieving this."
I would like to save you from bursting into tears in Tescos when you find that dark chocolate DOES have fat in it … and to help a few more people navigate the possibilities of controlling cholesterol levels naturally and keeping off the pills.
So in this booklet, I'm going to:
• Explain the medical bits and show you where you can find more information
• Talk about my "rules" and how they are applied in practice
• Tell you about some things you'll be surprised you can eat, and some you'll be surprised you can't
• Have a quick word about places you can eat out without undermining your diet
• Go through some exercise tips
Note: new edition with an extra recipe, more recommendations for eating out, and US as well as UK measurements for cholesterol levels.
Note: I am not a doctor. Show your doctor this book and let them know what you're planning to do.
Author
Liz Broomfield
I'm a self-employed editor, proofreader, localiser and transcriber (who happens to have fought high cholesterol and won) and I'm passionate about sharing the lessons I've learned along the way to help other people. My books use my own personal experience to show you how you can achieve similar results. No gimmicks, nothing to download or buy (except for the books), no schemes to join, just good, old-fashioned common sense. I tell you exactly what I did, and share my experiences, good and bad, and I try to provide some useful resources, too, where you can find more information. I hope you enjoy reading my books. As an independent author, I don't have a huge marketing machine behind me. So if you read and like one of my books, please consider submitting a review, and sharing your purchase on your social networks - thank you!
