I would like to mention that I would love to get my blood lipids under control, although my HDL has been doing well in the 70s and 80s, and so have my triglycerides (fasting usually below 100). TC (306) and calculated LDL-C (199) are the bad boys. Ratios are ok. Doc wanted to put me on a statin, sight unseen, but I am now…

Since I discovered my very high blood lipid levels, though, I also dropped dairy (except for non-fat plain Greek yogurt), and committed to the rest of the recommendations to help lower cholesterol and LDL. Plant-based seems like a good way to go, not…

Thanks for the feedback. Seitan may not work for me, though, unfortunately. Gluten gives me a heap of gas. :/ Isn't it still valid that phytoestrogens are a bad idea if you have estrogen dominance, or thyroid issues? I know the latter has been shown to be of lesser clinical significance, but the former is the reason I have…
