In the last 20 years or so, I started to eat chicken breast. (occasionally)

However, I still have heart disease and crazy high cholesterol. Obviously it's not my fault and most likely genetic but it is what it is. Through the years, I have been on the DASH diets and the Mediterranean eating plans minus most of the meats. Both were good, healthy ways of eating but not good enough. Cholesterol is STILL not under 200 despite having to take statins.

SO..............

I'm embarking on the plant based eating plan. It's not a huge change from vegetarian eating. It allows you to have 10% of your diet be eggs/chicken/seafood. The biggest eye opener for me was the ZERO OIL concept. Mediterranean was big on the "healthy oils".

Anyone else eating a plant based diet? I'm only a month into this so I'd love to hear from others....
I'm new to the plant based diet too, but I'm not sure about use of oils. I use one of three types of oils (evoo, coconut, or grape seed oil's), but I use them sparingly.

I mostly use oil in food prep for veggie stir fry or when I make batches of homemade dressing, Dominique.

If you or anyone posts tips or ideas, I'll be reading and learning too.
