I am trying to follow the diet laid out by Dr. Caldwell Esselston, Jr., author of How to Prevent and Reduce Heart Disease. I am trying to reduce my cholesterol and my blood pressure.<br /><br />Dr. E's diet is not only vegan but also does not allow any soy milk, oil, nuts, seeds, nor oily foods it the diet (avacado, black olives, and others). So I often link to a recipe, but when I cook it I adjust out any oil. When I link to a recipe I adjust out any milk (substituting almond or rice milk), and I adjust out cooking oil ("sauteing" in water, or straight on my cookware surface). I also often cook recipes from the E2 diet, written by Dr. E's son, Rip. So those recipes sometimes include things his dad doesn't allow, but I go back and forth, knowing that Rip's recipes are also designed to lower BP and cholesterol.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.FlyLady Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544242571867208112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8239588783521708334.post-26634182203786721812013-01-21T09:32:49.833-05:002013-01-21T09:32:49.833-05:00Oooh!
