My dad was diagnosed as type 2 several years ago. He manages with insulin daily. He has had a stint put in to help his arteries stay clear of plaque and his doc wants his LDL level to go down a lot.
Problem is, the heart doc says no red meat or animal products, but the sugar doc says no carbs or fruits. That doesn’t leave much to live on.
I’m inclined to think sugar is worse of the two, so maybe animals fat is a better choice. However, living with high sugar can be managed better than the chance or a heart attack.
If any of you have any thoughts or suggestions about supplements or meds or diet options, I would love to hear them.
Thanks frens!!!
Cholesterol (LDL, HDL whatever) has very little to do with heart issues. The problem is sugar and carbs.
Eat red meat, eggs, animal fat, butter, non-seed oils, cut down on sugars completely. Minimal carbs. Do intermittent fasting. Neutralize acidity by drinking lemon juice + bicarb soda or vinegar on empty stomach. Fix gut health with Yogurt, Yakult, Kimchi, etc.
You will be amazed how quickly the health recovers.
There are so many doctors like Dr Berg, Egbert etc on Youtube who have hundreds of good resources about all this.
