Cholesterol is not bad!

Cholesterol is a structural component of cell membranes

Cholesterol is necessary for the production of bile (which aids in the digestion of fat)

Cholesterol is used to make vitamin D and certain hormones, like estrogen and testosterone

More that 80% of the cholesterol currently in your bloodstream was made by your liver.

Your body needs about 1000 mg of cholesterol a day. When you eat 200 mg of cholesterol (that's about 1 egg's worth), your body will produce another 800 mg or so.

In short, your body prefers to stay within a small range. When you ingest more cholesterol, your liver slows down it's production of cholesterol.

For most people, there is NO correlation between the amount of cholesterol that you eat versus the total cholesterol in your blood.

However ...

About 40% of people will have some small increase in both LDL and HDL (hence an increase in Total Chol.) that has been shown to have no influence on heart health.

Some extremely cautious doctors recommend people with multiple risks factors (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, etc.) limit their dietary cholesterol.

That's the ONLY legitimate reason Cholesterol is still listed on our food labels.

Unless you have issues that are far beyond my scope of practice, you don't need to worry about the cholesterol in your food.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
