[quote=Anonymous]I have lost 25 pounds in the last nine months. I tested with crazy high cholesterol and very high blood pressure. These results scared me into switching my diet, but I didn't want to count calories or overdo protein because of a kidney issue. I instead looked at getting soluable fiber (really needed for high cholesterol, not the same as just fiber) to over 10 mgs a day and limiting saturated fats to under 10 mgs a day. Thanks to diet and medications, my total cholesterol is now an amazing 125 and LDL is 38. My hope is to be able to go off the medications eventually. I also started by limiting salt to under 800 mgs a day, hitting 600 most days, which was very effective in terms of weight loss--really limits what you can eat. I overdid it and ended up hospitalized for low sodium. I still watch it, but now aim for around 1200 to 1500 a day. [/quote]
