Thought I would share regarding lowering LDL:Question:My husband has 121 LDL and 164 Triglycerides although total cholesterol is 199. LDL/HDL ratio is 2.7. If he changes his diet to more fiber rich foods, how quickly can he lower his high numbers? He also has 109 Glucose.Answer:Well, if he changes and starts getting at least 25 g of fiber/day, I would give it a couple of months before testing again. Fiber will help improve his fasting glucose (he is in the prediabetes range). Exercise will... Read Full Story

I recently had a client ask me, "what am I doing wrong?". This person brought food records for me to review, exercised at least 5 times a week and limited their calorie intake to a level that surely would cause weight loss. Well, it didn't. For 2 months this person kept trying, and tried varying calorie levels to "trick their metabolism". Well, when I introduced the idea of Bios Life Slim, they thought "what do I have to lose?". They also have diabetes a... Read Full Story
Omega-3 fatty acid intake has been associated with a reduced risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Supportive, but not conclusive research has led the FDA to approve a health claim on food labels that contain these two types of omega-3 fatty acid: eiscosapentanioc acid (EPA) and docosanexaenoic acid (DHA).Typical foods are oily fish (salmon, lake trout, tuna and herring). The American Heart Association recommends at least 2 servings per week of oily fish and the use of omega-3 supplements fo... Read Full Story
Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you an update about Slim. Personally, I've lost another 2 lbs. I have many people on Slim right now and ALL that are using it correctly (twice/day) are losing weight OR inches. For a couple of weeks I didn't lose any weight but I lost inches, then I lost the two lbs. this last week. Just a note: free counseling by me, Jen Birge, RD, CDE if you buy Slim. www.realhelpforweightloss.comThanks, Jen Read Full Story
Well, so far the average (for the group of people I know personally) weight loss is 1.5 lbs per week. Pretty good....us dietitians like slow gradual weight loss. I don't know how many inches have been lost b/c unfortunately not everyone measured before they started. I'm pleased to hear that everyone has more energy!Jen Read Full Story
