You are 💯 % correct by exercising the process of illumination. The rule to a higher success when managing cholesterol is by eliminating sugar and reducing carbohydrates out of the daily diet. The content of the video recipe is loaded with sugar and high carbs it's concerning 😟.

    My dr told me I absolutely had to take statins bc it was absolutely impossible to lower cholesterol with diet and exercise especially at my age. After 9 months they finally wanted to do a fasting blood draw. Dr called and said she was blown away. My bad stuff went from 200 to 118 . Praise be to God

    I followed these recommendations in October as I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high Cholesterol, ultimately I was put on medication. I'm 40, nevertheless following these tips lowered my a1c from 6.9 to 6, and lowered my blood glucose from 159 to 126 in 3 months. I also lost 18lbs without exercise. It really is a life change but you can do it. I'm off the bp and Cholesterol meds now. Thank you so much Zonya. I really appreciate how much you helped me. I still have a way to go but I'm finally enjoying the journey.

      YAY YOU Robin! You took the ball and ran with it. Believing starting with just "3 foods"! And that these three foods not only helped your cholesterol, but blood pressure AND DIABETES! People think "beans are carbs" but they are the loaded with fiber, slow-rising, packed with potassium carbs. Can't throw all carbs under the bus. But get smart with your carbs. Apples....AMAZING! Your weight loss is excellent and helping your body to improve it's glucose sensitivity... And the best part about your comment...."I'm finally enjoying the journey". YEEEEES!!! Eating good for you REAL FOOD is DELICIOUS!!! Congrats Robin, keep up the great work! I know you will!

Coffee made my fingers hurt and my thumb swell, sugar fed the fungus in my big toes and produced swollen ankels and thru a surgeon on CZcams said I was addicted to food! Your addicted! My cholesterol was 201 and sent to a heart Dr. I took communion over each one. A month later loss 10 lbs-no exerise, no more pain in fingers or elbow and I'm learning to feed my gut and not me. Sugar is to a min. With oatmeal. Will stay in the fight. Horrible food will destroy us.

    I have been on meds for cholesterol and have had a bad reaction (itchy skin and palms) so my doctor and I decided that I should stop taking the medication for 1-2 weeks to confirm that the problem is actually a side effect - and the itching has stopped! As I live in Norway fish is not a problem and I do eat it fairly often. I also like pulses but forget to eat my beans, the same applies to apples and pears. This is going to change - I do not like taking medication and at 76 it is time to update my lifestyle!

    I cook 1 lb of pinto beans 6 C water or low sodium broth, in my Instant pot for 35-40 min. quick release. I add one whole onion, 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili powder, some salt, pepper, stir and put the lid on your instant pot. I take half out to keep whole, the other half I remove water and use my immersion tool to smash them into healthy Refried beans (no oil or lard) :) Delicious!!

I’ve felt horrible ever since I started on it and I’ve only been taking it every other day and not daily and it still affects me badly.

    Hi. I have super high cholesterol. I am pescatarian for 40 year's now, don't eat any deep fry, sugars, processed food or junk/fast food. I live mostly on beans, fish, veggies and fruits. I live a super healthy lifestyle. I am 5'3, 115 lbs. I work out almost daily and take at least 5 sauna's per week. My doctors say I am healthy and doing all the right things for my body yet my cholesterol is in the high 300's and LDL is way up there. I do not "usually" take prescription meds but am very close to starting a statin against my better judgement. There is a ton of heart disease in my family. I personally have a strong heart but the cholesterol issue for me is dangerous and I'm really nervous now that I cannot control it thru diet and exercise. I have tried very unsuccessfully! I am told that this is hereditary and although I am doing everything right, there is not other option for me than to take the statin pills. Any advise please? Thank You!

      Yes my dad passed at 66 from high cholesterol:( but I don’t even think he knew he had it until it was too late ! It’s a silent killer … my mom had high cholesterol and she is 81 and has been on statins for years since her 50s and no cardiac events except 1 minor heart attack at 65 when I dr gave her a pill to lose weight ! Statins did keep her cholesterol LOW! But I am going to really try to do it naturally …. Fish, veggies, fruits, beans, water and egg whites and I have to follow LOW fodmap foods only and low glycemic foods …. Low fodmap has helped my IBS …. They said I either have IBS or I don’t have the enzymes that digest fatty foods … I will say this eliminating alll the junk bacon hot dogs burgers white buns white pasta saves my GUT

Beans, I'm from Puerto Rico and beans are a very important part of our cuisine, love them all kidney, black, pink, white, garbanzo, pigeon peas. Love fish, my daughter says that probably I was born in a boat, because I love fish. Today my lunch was salmon (can) spinach, tomatoes, green onion. We have a good Publix supermarket next to our house, with a good Seafood department, we go get fresh fish, come home cook and eat. Thanks for all the good advise. My doctor said this week my labs were excellent. Already subscribed to your channel. And yes love apples also, eat them with a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon. My bad cholesterol was 81, good cholesterol was 53. Sugar 80.

Just stir some hot water from the kettle into a cup of oat-bran & mix with your other ingredients. However there is quite a lot of good cholesterol in eggs.

Not salmon though, we both hate it, it makes me nauseated though I REALLY season it with lime and lots of fresh herbs (I am from the Caribbean). I only use olive oil.

I saw my doctor today and got the results of my recent blood tests and my total cholesterol was down 20 points and my triglycerides are normal. I am 2 points still above normal and the only area keeping it slightly up is the HDL. He was thrilled with my progress as was I.
    I don’t know if this has anything to do with this also, but I’m sleeping better and have more energy and have lost also 10 lbs.

    I usually don't write reviews. I made the bean salad last week and it was a bit much so I will have to see how to make less. Not sure about freezing it due to the tomatoes, but maybe I use half the can on each. It was good, will work on that. I can manage beans in soup and that seems to be enough of what my stomach can tolerate. The salmon burgers were a hit with the sauce. I used the can salmon and picked the skin and the main bone out of it, worked just fine. Favors work very well together! I'm happy with the results. I have been eating apples all along sometimes with peanut butter. Will try your apple/fruit recipe next. Thank you!

    I'm definitely going to do the three bean salad and the salmon patty. Grown up as a child through my 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. We've always called them salmon croquettes. However, I've never had them baked. And with that dressing I am so sure I'm in for a treat! 😂😜 😃 I'm pretty leery about trying the egg in it because currently I've decided I'm going to lay off her looks something I did years ago.
