controlling cholesterol while on a bulk cycle

ad

I was wondering if you guys could share some of your methods for controlling your cholesterol while pounding tons of groceries. I'm planning on eating lots of eggs w/o the yolk, a healthy portion of fruits and veggies, and a little blast of cardio every day. What do you do?

You need the some Yolk of an egg http://youtu.be/JpHoJRjof7Q also when you shop you can look for items high in cholesterol to stay away from just by reading ingredients. Also eat plenty of Fiber, Guacamole, Almonds, supplement flax seed oil, and other good fats to help with the transport of healthy fats versus bad. No fast food, no saturated fats, cheese and coffee creamers are amongst the normal daily no-no's....

CB, this topic comes up a fair amount so look through some of the older posts for additional nuggets. However, anytime this question comes up my 2 cents is always garlic, mushrooms, and fiber. Oats are a great source, and good old phsyllium husk never hurts.

Two cloves garlic twice a day will help with HDL levels as will the mushrooms, portobello being the best choice. If you cannot handle the garlic, grab yourself some Kyolic.

Add konsyl to ur diet drink it twice a day. It's fiber but it can help lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. It also helps your digestive system which is good especially when your bulking and eating like crazy... Give it a shot bro I think you will be pleased. You can get it a wal mart it's around 14 bucks but it last months.

Beast the OATS for natural cholesterol lowering properties, OATS should be the your biggest source of calories anyway on a true bulker, so should good fats too!.... egg whites are for cutting at a ratio of 5 whites to 1 yolk.... on a bulker eat whole eggs.

You mention cardio too...... dont do any cardio on a true bulker, what we are trying to achieve is an anabolic state with loads of rest and inactivity to allow the increase in calories to gain body weight.

The title of your posts states your current goal but i take it you are not a bodybuilder and one of the "others" that we have here at eroids that is looking more for a "restricted" weight gain.

Anyway... the cholesterol question has been engaged so i hope i have been of some help.

you need that egg yolk to process the proteins that you are getting from the egg white otherwise you might as well put down the eggs and find another source of protien

YES,YES,YES...Egg yolks are GOOD not bad. Now ratio because there are some cholesterol concerns but you need the YOLK! Watch this http://youtu.be/JpHoJRjof7Q Good Post back GRRRL!!!

never heard of that before. Is there a ratio of yolks to whites that is a good compromise?

The diet can be kept impeccably healthy and the level of cardio - perfect. The issue is AAS (for me). Depending on my selection of compounds - I'm going to get some adverse impact on lipids that usually take a few months to return to normal upon termination of the cycle. Unfortunately, even plain old Test will raise LDL and lower HDL a bit and raise total cholesterol as well (a bit). You don't have to eat 4 lbs.a day of red meat to grow, however. But, I don't know what you're running . . . .

I'n doing a plain old Test 500mg a week cycle. I'll be sure to check levels mid cycle.
Have you ever had to stop a cycle early to deal with high cholesterol?

No. I've never had my cholesterol jump so high as to prompt me to terminate a cycle. So, I would focus on all the diet tips the folk have posted above.
