Diet plan to reduce cholesterol

Everyone has heard of cholesterol. Everyone has it. Most of us have a higher than normal level due to improper eating habits or bad choices of food. For the last 2 decades from Goa Medical college where I studied to my Qua Nutrition clinics, this one issue ( CHOLESTEROL) is the primary thorn in everyone side.

To reduce cholesterol is very easy to understand. It’s the implementation that is difficult.

Here are my Straight forward tips

1. See a Good Dietitian or Qualified Nutritionist. They should be able to plan your diet as the tips here will not take into account you’re other parameters like height,weight, age, gender and fat percentage. CALL A GOOD NUTRITIONIST FOR AN APPOINTMENT
2. Begin to reduce the GRAIN WHEAT, RICE and MILLETS in your Diet. Bringing down Insulin and HBa1C will drop your cholesterol.
3. Add Vitamin D to your supplements. Higher Vitamin D levels in my practice display a drop in body fat levels. Solid FAT=to ultimately your liquid blood fat ie cholesterol coming down.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of FENUGREEK seeds (Methi Seeds) to your morning water drinking. Soaked overnight is best. CRUNCH them really well in your mouth. Add methi leaves three times a week to your diet as Vegetable side dish. DO A LOT OF IT.
5. Add 10 almonds everyday. Boosts HDL Cholesterol the good guy
6. Add 10 Pistas everyday. Lowers belly fat
7. Add one bowl about 50-80 Gms of beans to at least one meal and day and watch your cholesterol go down.
8. One bowl of Oats every morning. Oats have certain compounds that lower cholesterol.
9. Tumeric and garlic liberally added to your curries.
10. A supplement called RED YEAST RICE has a mycostatin. I suggest this only under guided advice of a medical practitioner or holistic nutritionist.

Below is a SAMPLE NON_VEG DIET CHART for cholesterol. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS GENERAL CHART as it may have adverse effects if we do not analyse your body and biochemistry. I SUGGEST YOU CALL A NUTRITIONIST for a custom chart for best effect. I have intentionally not listed portions so you have to control portions based on your calorie calculations. AGAIN you need a nutritionist to work this for you. If you do follow this chart, PLEASE DO NOT CONSUME THE supplements unless under written guidance in person from me. And please respect the fact that this is my profession and there is no such thing as FREE ADVICE. Humble request you to take a PAID plan so that me and my team can prosper along with you.
