High Cholesterol and Fast800 plan

Hi. My doctor has confirmed a cholesterol score of 7.8. We have agreed I can try to lower through diet and exercise etc. I have read lots of information on foods I should be eating etc. Would this plan be suitable given that it encourages full fat products albeit in small amounts. The literature says it helps in reducing cholesterol levels. I’m a bit confused 😐 Thanks

Hello TEBM

This forum is for people with heart related issues, you'll find that most of us try to eat a Mediterranean Diet

There's another forum called cholesterol support which you may find helpful, link below;-

The BHF also runs a 12 part programme to lower cholesterol :-

Hi there, I did the fast 800 last year to lose weight and found it very successful. It is a lifestyle change but it has worked for me. Good luck.
