(I'm by no means saying I eat cleaner than big Ronnie, but you get the jist of it.)

My cholesterol was 360
and now it is 281. It dropped almost 100 pts. but still outrageous.

I am a firm believer that if ANYONE in your family has ever had hypertension or high cholesterol, then you should be checked.

good call fit girl..

You might want to pick another protein source then (or scramble/poach the eggs instead of boil).

The digestability of raw egg-whites is only ~60% - so you are denying yourself about half the protein in the egg.... Also, eating too many raw eggs can lead to biotin deficiency (there is a molecule called avidin in the egg white that binds biotin)

There is a thread here if you want to read more.
