Hi all
My total cholesterol was 5.4, which I reduced to 4.6 by using plant sterols (benecol drinks) but I stopped using any benecol when I started doing 5:2 in Feb. I have to say I have lost very little weight but have changed shape a little.
Just had my new fasting cholesterol (done annually because of a yellow cholesterol deposit on my eyelid and family history of heart disease) and it's now total cholesterol 3.9 !! HDL is 1.5 which is good, I got confused by the other info though and haven't written it all down properly.
So my cholesterol has significantly reduced with this WOE and I will be keeping on going :)
