Most people and many health experts believe that cholesterol will be lowered by substituting chicken, turkey, and fish for red meat.
So instead of eating steak and potatoes for dinner, they change their eating plan to chicken and potatoes. Instead of eating a roast beef sandwich, they eat a turkey sandwich. Instead of eating a hamburger, they eat fish and chips.
Most people, including health and fitness experts, have no idea how much cholesterol they are getting in their daily diets and overall health plan. They, although well-intended, are misinformed. They simply don’t realize how much cholesterol is in all animal products, including chicken and fish.
As Dr.John McDougall states in his book, Ten Days to Dynamic Health, in a 3.5 ounce serving,
Pork contains 90mg of cholesterol
Beef 85mg
Chicken 85mg
Turkey 82mg
Lamb 82mg
Trout 73mg
Milk 49mg
Notice that chicken contains just as much cholesterol as beef; turkey almost as much cholesterol as beef; and trout is not close behind.
On the contrary, all plant foods have exactly 0mg of cholesterol.
Are you serious about lowering your artery-clogging and disease-causing cholesterol? If you are, then eat a plant-based diet.
All animal products, including cheese and milk, are loaded with cholesterol and that extra cholesterol accumulates in your arteries and veins, raising your blood pressure and your chances of getting a heart attack or stroke.
Are you ready to take charge of your body, your health, and your life?
Load up on the best foods for human health and fitness that are choked full of the superior nutrition, little fat, no cholesterol, and fewer calories for natural and easy weight loss.
Avoid and ultimately eliminate animal and dairy products that have excess fat, cholesterol, animal protein, chemicals, calories, and absolutely no fiber.
The logical choice: plant foods in the form of fresh whole fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, whole grains, and whole legumes.
So the next time you eat chicken or fish with the thought that those foods will lower your cholesterol, think again!
