I had a check-up at the docs a few weeks ago, and had my cholesterol checked.
6.0 – not a good rating (it’s meant to be between 3.5 and 5).
So I went on a low-fat kick – I cut out cheese (the main culprit), limited myself to one semi-skimmed cappuccino a day, no buns or pastries, and only a few treats at weekends. I also bought a pedometer and average about 8000 steps/day.
A few days ago, my cholesterol reading was down to 4.1. Within 4 weeks.
It works. I’ve also lost a few pounds (my trousers are a little loser) and feel much fitter.
