Here we go again–another ugly word. Let me explain a little about this ugly word. Cholesterol is measured by how many milligrams of cholesterol are in one deciliter of blood (1/10th of a liter of blood). As a rule our cholesterol level should be below 200mg/dl. Most physicians I spoke with like it around 150mg/dl. Any number higher than 250mg/dl is considered to be high risk for heart disease or stroke. Why? Because cholesterol flows around in your blood, and it can easily make its way to blood vessels, stick to the walls of arteries forming plaque-like deposits and eventually leading to arteriosclerosis, or worse, heart failure. If you are concerned about your blood cholesterol level, then we suggest going to your nearest pharmacy and buying a test kit or consulting with your physician.

So, how much do we need to eat of this ugly stuff? Actually none! Our liver manufactures cholesterol, about 1,000 mg a day. Most physicians recommend that your daily intake should not exceed 200mg to 300mg.

Now that we have talked about cholesterol can it keep you from losing weight if your levels are too high? YES it will! In order for your body to burn fat efficiently each blood cell must carry an adequate amount of oxygen throughout the body to each and every organ. High levels of cholesterol hinders that process. 

Now I bet you are wondering how you can lower your cholesterol if it is high. Since each person is different Johnnie will make recommendations based on your unique body-type and lifestyle by designing you a low cholesterol diet.
