Was told yesterday by my GP that I am prediabetic, have high cholesterol and my blood pressure is on the up although ok for now. All these things run in my family and my younger sister already has all three issues although I have a healthier lifestyle no booze, wholefood diet and regular exercise but I am still overweight.
Been looking at my diet today, I have been using lurpak spreadable but should I switch to flora proactive with plant sterols? I remember reading years ago that seed oils were bad and to stick to butter but now my cholesterol is high, Lurpak spreadable is a UPF anyway so perhaps the flora active is a good switch? I also use the Carotino Healthy Oil except its high in saturated fats so I should switch to cold pressed rapeseed oil for frying most things?
I have 6 months to get my levels down or I will have to go on a Statin and BP med which I don't want and I might be diabetic by then or in the future. I am aiming to lose weight and build muscle as I do cardio but zero weight training so I need to start that and cut out the sweet treats.
Also going to start berberine and logging my food in an app.
Any other ideas?
