    12oz Cholesterol Test

    this may sound sort of weird but i've heard many many cases of simply switching to 'cleaner' meats to cure cholesterol problems.

     

    there is a guy who writes for a survival website that moved to a remote area of the US and his entire meat sources consisted of wild meat. deer, elk, bear, etc. his wife urged him to go to the doctor for a check up and got blood work done. the doctor ordered him to get 3 more tests because he had never seen bad cholesterol so low.

     

    on a body building/weight training site i frequent another guy had basically the same problems with high cholesterol. granted he was eating 8 whole eggs, 8-12 oz of red meat a day, etc. he switched to solely grass finished beef, chicken, and eggs from pastured hens. these methods result in proper omega 3 balance in the final product. the meat has CLA in it. apparently it only takes 7 days of grain feeding a cow right before slaughter to make the CLA disappear. cholesterol and fat is lower in all the pasture based meats. the guy went back to the doctor 6 months later and was still eating 8 eggs a day, 2 table spoons of grass fed cow butter, and 8 oz of beef a day and his cholesterol was now in the good range.

     

    another story joel salatin (biggest well known proponent of grass based farming in the US) related a story in his new book that says his mother in law had cholesterol problems and all they did was switch to eating pasture produced eggs. her levels were then in the good range.

    dont fall for the organic egg bullshit. there is virtually no difference in an egg that is from tyson or from an organic 'cage free vegetarian' producer in terms of the nutrients and chemical composition of the yokes. chickens are omnivores, not herbivores. the yolks should be a deep dark orange, not pale bright yellow. the yokes of tyson and an organic producer are indistinguishable in color and only have marginal differences in nutrition.

     

    another person did the same thing at my wife's work. the switched to eating buffalo instead of grain finished ground beef. same story . blood work came back good.

     

    its worth a try.

    cut out all bad fats and replace with good fats, switch to pasture produced eggs and grass FINISHED beef... check around till you can find it. upping your cardio is also a good idea

     

     

     

    now that's a take on it i've never heard, sounds interesting and more desirable quite frankly. thanks, i'm going to look into this more.

    I ate bacon last night, but also ran 3 miles. Off on a vacation with the wifey, all inclusive, going to live it up..Then focus on this problem. Thanks for the advice all. The sacry thing is I already so a lot of the things that are supposed to keep it down..so it may be partly hereditary. I'm going to give it from 10/25ish thru early January and re-test.

     

    oh, and the fish oil pills are no good? i've been taking them for a while, along with red yeast rice extract, and flax seed oil.
