I started the Zone diet and a vigorous exercise plan January 1st 2007. After losing 20 pounds, I had my Lipid profile checked on 2/26/07 and was devistated to have a total cholesterol of 249, and a LDL of 184 !! Way over the allowable limit. I thought there was no more I could do. I couldnt possibly change my diet (I am very strict on the Zone), and was exercising 5 days a week. I did not want to go on a cholesterol lowering med. The Doctors that I work with (Internal Medicine) told me it was very very difficult to lower yor LDL. A fellow Zone member, told me about OmegaRx tablets (which I ordered on the Zone living web site), I started 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening, and when I had my Lipids checked 5/10/07 my total cholesterol was 204 and my LDL was...... 144 !!!! I couldnt believe it!! I was so happy not to have to take a prescribed drug. I have been telling all my co-workers and patients who come in my office to look into taking it. I will continue to follow the Zone diet,use shakes and fish oil tablets because they have changed my life.
