13. Great job!

I have read over and over that vitamin B1 (niacin) is really good for cholesterol. Been taking it for awhile myself.

We went on a diet called "forks over knives." Basically it is a vegan diet with an emphasis on green veggies. You can google it.
We started in late June and have both lost 60 pounds. I had my first blood tests ever after we were on it 2 months and my numbers were all incredible and in limits. My wife has had all sorts of cholesterol and diabetes problems and her numbers were all also in limits - but she is still taking a statin. They cut her diabetes drugs way back. I really had no baseline (thanks american medical system)

Keep it up! Maybe google 'Forks over Knives' and see if there is something there for you.

Edit to add - I have been a long term blood donor so I do have a baseline for blood pressure. I dropped @ 40 points in a month and am still down.

good luck.
