CONTROLLING YOUR CHOLESTEROL

I’ve been curious about how long it takes to lower cholesterol and by how much by switching to a vegan diet. The answer isn’t simple. Not like reducing caloric intake which is not that difficult to measure. But I found a good article that explains much of this and other things. Here it is: CONTROLLING YOUR CHOLESTEROL

My standard breakfast has pretty much been a cup of oatmeal (1 cup of dry rolled oats before cooking) with some fruit, lately blueberries. Sometimes a cup of OJ. I’ve cut out the WW toast with Earth Balance primarily to reduce calories from carbs.

And I’ve been eating more rice, brown rice whenever available. Last night for instance, I had a wild, brown multi-rice mixture with fresh green beans sauteed in a Tsp of EVOO served wrapped in a WW tortilla with hummus and mango salsa. Superb! This mango salsa is better than I expected, and I expected a lot! Great stuff. I got it at Costco.
