As you all know, I work with clients daily to help them lose weight and improve their health.
Lately, I've worked with a few strict vegetarians and it has inspired me to give it a try! I am attempting a completely plant-based diet, nothing radical or political, just trying something new. I will eat the occasional low-fat or no-fat cheese.
Depending on who you talk to or read about, there seems to be the idea that perhaps even genetically triggered cholesterol problems may be helped by a plant-based diet.
I will let you in on a dirty little secret...(that got your attention, huh)? I have been a health coach for 3 1/2 years and yet my cholesterol is still very high. So, I will be the guinea-pig for the rest of us.
I will try the vegetarian diet, mostly vegan and at the end of September, I will have my cholesterol checked and let you know how this little experiment goes!!
The Medifast/Take Shape for life program that I use with my clients has a vegetarian option, so I will be getting a lot of my ideas from there.
