Lose Weight & Lower Cholesterol |
|
You want it all...a smaller clothes size and a cholesterol level under 200!
Increasing exercise activity and cutting back the calories will help you lose one pound a week and eventually help to reduce your total cholesterol. Below are additional strategies to help you accomplish two noble goals: maintaining a healthy weight and improving your cholesterol profile
Increase Fiber Intake
- 25-35g is recommended
- The insoluble fiber from psyllium husks will increase satiety, reducing your urge to overeat and the soluble fiber from oats, veggies and beans will help to lower cholesterol.
Increase Soy Intake
- Soy is a great source of protein and is very low in fat.
- Give soy shakes/bars, soy milk, tofu and Edamame (soy beans) a try.
- 25g a day can lower your cholesterol by 5%.
- There are many soy meal replacement products that can help you lose weight and reduce your cholesterol at the same time.
