Would appreciate help with cardiac health issue + scd

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been on scd a year and a half, and doing fine with it, appreciate it very

much.

I have genetically hight cholesterol. Let me be clear: I have high cholesterol

totally not caused by scd. However, I have now been tested, and it turns out

that there is damage. Cholesterol has calcified in heart blood vessels. The

score they look for in this heart scan is zero-- mine is 438. Not so good.

Doing other tests, etc, however would appreciate food help from this group.

I would love some input on how to do scd with this.

First off, it was strongly suggested I stop consume no more than 10 grams of

sat fat p d.

It was strongly suggested that I give up the the regular milk yogurt, which I

was eating a lot. Of course! I did stop eating the regular yogurt, but have

not made a skim milk yogurt, hoping you will have suggestions, as I am not used

to yogurt that is rich, creamy and yum. Have you made a low fat yogurt? Was it

ok? Watery? Please advise.

Also, any other suggestions would be appreciated. I already was cooling and

skimming the fat from the soup. Am now not eating chicken skin--tho I do cook

with it on.

I eat lots of veggies, and lots of apples. Luckily I have been able to eat

these. No beef right now. Have been doing Red Rice Yeast, and already-- it has

been a few months now-- have lowered cholesterol by 50 points. However, given

that I already have calcification, I do have to really really watch it.

Thank you
