A Diet For Your Health

There isn’t room here to describe all the disease conditions that may be improved with this diet. . In doing so, they have had the added benefit of losing weight. What is important is that your health comes first. This diet will likely move you towards your optimal health. In doing so, many of your excess pounds will probably disappear. Try it and see.

A Diet to Reverse Heart Disease

THE #1 KILLER of Americans is heart disease. Over 32% of us will die from this disease. The leading cause of heart disease is the American diet with its high fat, (36% to 42% of calories) high cholesterol, high animal product content.

The Eat More, Weigh Less™ Diet is an excellent antidote for heart disease because when done strictly, it is low in fat (around 10% of calories), has no cholesterol (0 milligrams), and has no animal products. There is even evidence that this diet may reverse heart disease and ameliorate its risk factors, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

There is even evidence that good diet alone can reverse atherosclerotic placques. If you already have heart disease or are on medications for any disease, check with your doctor before changing your diet.

A Diet to Lower Cholesterol

For people who specifically have the early signs of risk for heart disease, e.g., high cholesterol, the EMWL Diet is helpful for a number of reasons. My recommendations for lowering cholesterol can be summarized in the following list. The EMWL Diet automatically incorporates steps 1 to 4.

1. Avoid Cholesterol Intake. (0 mg. is best – all dietary

cholesterol contributes to your cholesterol level.)

2. Limit Fat Intake to about 10% of calories. (10% fat

diets have been shown to reverse heart disease and

their risk factors.)

3. Eat More Whole Foods (i.e., whole and medium to

high EMI foods. These satisfy your hunger and have a

full array of micronutrients and anti-oxidants. They

also have more fiber, including soluble fiber that helps

lower cholesterol.)

4. Avoid or Limit Saturated Fat Intake. (Saturated fat

raises cholesterol.)
