No it doesnt. A lot of docs aren't even testing for it anymore. It doesn't play the role in heart disease we once thought it did. Look at the latest FDA approval for all the cholesterol drugs. When the health effects of cholesterol were disproven the drugs like lipitor were suddenly approved to be used as a treatment for numerous other conditions.
Cut the sugary crap out of your diet and the inflammation it causes in the arteries goes down. That's what will bring on the plaque from healing the inflammation.
I cut the sugary stuff out before. I did my first contest bodybuilding diet a while back and it didn't make a difference, my levels were still higher than normal.
Meat is loaded with cholesterol from what I've read, but cutting it out doesn't seem like a smart idea for strength and muscle gains.
You need to get up to date on cholesterol info. Eating food with fat or cholesterol doesn't affect your cholesterol levels. And eating like a bodyuilder whatever that means for two weeks isn't going to change much at all
Seriously, chill out. You're fine.
If you take the healthy, REAL version of the Mediterranean Diet these are probably then I agree that it can be a great one to stick to with the key points being:Did everything above and my numbers were still high for the bad Chol.
