Cholesterol is vital to our body and we need it to thrive in life. We just don’t need to increase our levels because of poor diet habits.
Lifestyle changes are required to be able to not only lower harmful cholesterol levels and raise helpful levels, but also to maintain those optimal levels.
If you follow these simple strategies and most importantly be consistent with them you can expect healthy cholesterol levels and a lower risk for heart disease.
The meal planning and eating clean strategy many times can be the most challenging part. In my 20+ years of being a Registered Dietitian I have seen the most success when you have a consistent meal plan to follow.
There are many different types of meal plans, but the best meal plans are what is going to work for you and that means customizing to fit your taste preferences.
Another thing I have also experienced is the meal plan needs to be accessible and convenient. You can find a lot of programs online, but one I particularly like is this app that is accessible from your phone.
It is worth checking it out and seeing if you like the app and customized meal plans as much as I do.
