As other reviewers pointed out, people with high cholesterol issues come in all ages, genders, and sizes. I’m researching for my very athletic, active, 30-something husband who happens to have an issue with high cholesterol. He does not need to lose weight, in fact he’s concerned about weight loss since he is so physically active. Will search more for better information for people in his situation, but there was some good information in this publication.

I just took the heart test and didn’t see anything about LDL which is bad cholesterol and the most important. My doc doesn’t pay attention to the total cholesterol, only the LDL and HDL. I am not overweight, low blood pressure and eat a very healthy diet plus exercising...and my LDL is high, doc recommended taking a statin three times a week, I’ll do that but am thinking the long term effects of statin use may not be that good.

Easy to understand; provides a number of foods to eat - Thank you for educating the public!!!

You know the reason it’s hard to get people to follow a diet like this? Because of the food choices you promote. Soft margarine instead of butter? Yuuuuck. Fat-free cheese instead of somethihg with authentic, satisfying flavor? Oh, please. Fake food is one of the reasons we’re so fat. People are substituting quantity for quality. The general guidelines are good, but somebody needs to strangle the dietician and hire a chef. We’ll all lose weight and get thinner if the trip there isn’t godawful. If that’s the way I’ve gotta eat for the rest of my life, I’d rather die young.

I’m forty, female and not obese - and I have high cholesterol. What is with the images of grandpa? I thought high cholesterol was a national problem; not reserved for males over 60. Your images do not reflect reality.

I have been following these guidelines for 6 months and my cholesterol (LDL and total) has gone up instead of down. I have lost about 10 pounds and have about 5 more to lose to get my BMI to 25.

Unfortunately this diet is hard to find and even my cardiologist didn’t know about it. Fortunately we found it and wish that every doctor knew about it. It is easy to understand, easy to do and it WORKS! Whether or not you have a cholesterol issue, this is an excellent way just to eat and understand it.

This appears to use most of the dogmatic approach of the American Heart Association, rather than taking into consideration newer evidence that shows that not all saturated fats are the same, that carbohydrates are more damaging on the whole than saturated or total fat intake, that animal products are generally damaging in the diet, and that cholesterol consumption dramatically affects circulating cholesterol. Very disappointing considering the excellent work that NCEP does. However, this document is better than nothing for the general population.

Does "Dr" Anderson also believe that manipulating the spine will prevent/cure heart disease too.
It is interesting that the only people who typically identify themselves with "Dr" before their names are PhDs or chiropractors -- guess they’re trying to give themselves some credibility

Dietary cholesterol does not increase heart disease risk, nor do saturated fats. Countless studies have tested these outdated theories and failed every time to find any benefit from them.
Wrong dietary information means more people ending up on drugs -- which is evidently the point of the whole exercise.

Generally informative. Suggest having a "printable" format without all the color. Also, contact/number, whatever, to order the booklet and any related publications.

My 53 year old husband just had a heart attack. This publication is a great start toward improving my new, lean "twigs and bark" diet for him. I love the realistic advice!

This document is excellent. Could you make it easier to find? It should be featured right at the beginning of your cholesterol page with an easy link by icon and title. Don’t bury it! It’s great!

This was very informative but I wish you would have information for those that have high cholesterol but do not need to limit calories, or actually need to keep a large number of calories in the diet in order to just maintain their weight. High cholesterol affects skinny people too!

I already have high blood pressure and I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My doctor said my cholesterol was in the danger area, so I guess all of these conditions put me in the Metabolic Syndrome area. She prescribed a different HBP med and suggested diet and exercise. Changing a lifetime of bad habits is not easy but with the help of the TLC guide I’ve already started to lose weight and I am actually looking forward to my next doctor’s appt. because I am making actual progress towards my goals of losing weight and exercising.
Thank you so much for this guide, we can all benefit from a lot of TLC.

Extremely helpful and practical resource Much needed and useful information. Goes beyond the doctor saying that I had to lower my cholesterol. Actually gives a practical plan on how to do so. I have used some of this public domain material to speak to this issue on my career change website.

Very complete; menus are good resource This is a lengthy educational piece, but you can focus on portions of the packet and get quality information. The TLC menus are a great resource.
