The Portfolio Diet, Using the Power of Soy to Lower Cholesterol

There's a new diet in town and my, is he handsome! He?? Yes, He. This diet is powerful and strong and although very manly, it's for women too! How exciting!

This new diet is the brainchild of a Canadian research team (working with the Almond Board of California, Unilever Canada and Lublaw Brands) which discovered that soy holds an important key in lowering cholesterol.

Taking 25 volunteers and placing them on The Portfolio Diet for ONE month lowered the LDL by 35%!

The LDL represents the numbers in cholesterol that increase our risk of heart disease. The HDL represent the numbers that lower our risk of heart disease. A good way to help remember what these sometimes-confusing letters represent is to think: 'L stands for Loser and H stands for Healthy'.

In the volunteers, the HDL appeared unaffected and remained steady. In the volunteers that were placed on a standard diet, their LDL number fell by 12% - which is quite impressive in itself and of course, will work to lower their risks!

It was reported to be an especially filling diet. Here is a sample menu:

Breakfast: oat bran, fruit, soy milk

Lunch: vegetarian chili, oat bran bread, tomato

Dinner: vegetarian curry, soy burger, northern beans, barley, okra, eggplant, cauliflower, onions, red pepper

The volunteers also took Metamucil 3 x per day for soluble fiber stemming from psyllium.
