I’ve been following the type O diet for 6 weeks. The first three weeks I’ve taken off 17 pound. I’ve been trying to get my mother on to the type O diet, her cholesterol is high.

My mothers story sounds a lot like Wilma’s story in your book. High stressed job, low if any exercise, high cholesterol and following the doctors diet and exercise recommendations. To spite following her doctors recommendations her cholesterol went up from 250 to 290, LDL 225. She talked to her doctor about the Type O diet but of course the doctor didn’t recommend it and instead is sending her a new diet, which I’ll forward to you if you’d like.

My mothers has been on the Type O diet for 2 days but has her concerns, red meat. Does organic red meat for Type O’s Lower Cholesterol? Is it safe for her levels of LDL? How long would it take before this diet would start lowering her cholesterol, the early she see results the more motivated she would be to continue to follow the type O plan?

One more question, any advice on stress reduction?
