Last April, I went in for my annual physical. My cholesterol was through the roof (268), and I was diagnosed with obesity (I weighed 286 lbs.) Clearly, I needed to make some changes. I asked my doctor to recommend a diet and exercise regimen for me, and I stuck to it like it was a new religion.
Well.
I went back in for my follow-up last weekend, a little over six months later. My cholesterol is now 119, and I weigh 232 lbs. My doctor was amazed, and asked me what I did. "I did what you told me to do," I shrugged.
Sorry if you were hoping for a link to a new diet fad, or a pile of pseudo-science b.s. about juice cleanses and detoxes. There's no secret, no puzzle, no magic. I lost 54 pounds and cut my cholesterol in half with just two simple steps: (1) got a doctor's advice, and (2) followed it.
