Hello ladies, I am glad to see that this thread is alive again

Maeve, I believe SBD can really help you lower your cholesterol. One thing that you need to keep in consideration is that your cholesterol not only goes high from eating fatty foods but also from processed foods and sugar. Since SBD eliminates those (I used to follow the original SBD) your cholesterol really goes down. I have never had a problem with cholesterol but my mom did and when she followed SBD 8 years ago it really helped lower her cholesterol and regulate her blood pressure.
