Susan : “I’ve decided to totally cut out fats from my diet so I can lower my bad cholesterol levels

Me: Why, I asked?

Susan: Well, I heard that zero-fat diet is the best way to lower cholesterol.

Me: Susan that’s a myth

The truth is that your body needs the right fats

The goal isn't to fear fat.

It's to understand it.

Choose more heart friendly fats, limit saturated and trans fats, and focus on the overall quality of your diet.

Lowering cholesterol isn't about removing every gram of fat from your plate.

Eating the right fats in the right portions are what your body needs

Stop buying so called cholesterol free foods.

Two people can weigh the same and have very different health profiles.

That's because the scale doesn't tell the whole story.

It can’t differentiate subcutaneous fat under your skin to the harmful visceral fat around your organs in the belly area

Where your body stores excess fat, particularly around the abdomen, can be relevant to metabolic and cardiovascular health.

You see, visceral fat acts like an independent organ churning out inflammatory compounds

It wraps around your precious organs where it impacts metabolic health negatively in areas like

Cholesterol levels

Blood sugar levels

Blood pressure levels

Cardiovascular health

This doesn't mean you should become obsessed with your waist measurement or appearance.

If you have visceral fat, diet and lifestyle changes will help

This is an important root cause of high cholesterol levels and heart health that is addressed during the 21 day cholesterol and heart reset program

Do you belong to the school of thought that Monday to Thursday is “health mode”?

What happens to your healthy habits when Friday arrives?

The reality is that your cardiovascular health isn't built in four days.

It's influenced by the patterns you repeat throughout your week.

I know that weekends are for owambes etc

But you don't have to avoid them or restaurants, celebrations or your favourite foods.

Just enjoy them without completely abandoning the habits that support your health.

It’s more practical to choose :

Balance over restriction.

Consistency over perfection.

And progress over the “I'll start again on Monday” mindset.

Sandra rejected my offer of mixed nuts at my office

So I asked her why

Her response surprised me

She said that they are high in fat therefore raise her cholesterol levels

I burst out laughing

And I bust the myth she held that …..

You should avoid nuts because they contain fat and so raise bad cholesterol levels

The Truth is that nuts are high in:

📌unsaturated fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats ,

📌fibre that affect bile acid metabolism,

📌plant sterols that reduce how the intestine absorbs cholesterol ,

📌🥒protein and other bioactive compounds that can lower bad cholesterol and support cardiovascular health.

Remember to be mindful of portion size and how the nuts are processed eg unsalted nuts

Do you know that your next meal is an opportunity to boost your health?

If it’s the right one

I know a lot of times, we health professionals tell you to remove this and that from your diet

but …..

I’d like you to start asking yourself another question…..


“What can I add to my diet that supports my heart?”

Let me give you a hint ……

Add:

📌More fibre-rich foods.

📌More vegetables.

📌More whole foods.

📌Healthier sources of unsaturated fats.

⚠️And fewer foods high in saturated and trans fats like margarine and spreads

However, your cardiovascular health is influenced by patterns, not one perfect meal.

Start with your next plate.
