So you said yes to the Burgers…

You’ve said yes to the burgers.

And you’ve added the cheese.

And the bacon.

This has become your go-to lunch special without thinking twice about it.
But now a couple of years go by and you’re starting to see some unpleasant changes in your body… Wondering what to do next?

Although of course we’ll recommend living a healthier lifestyle, we will first urge you to check your cholesterol ASAP.

Wait– is high cholesterol really that bad? High levels of cholesterol in your blood can contribute to the development of heart disease… which is the number one cause of death in the United States… so yeah, high cholesterol is pretty bad.  

BUT the good news is that if you ate yourself into this mess, you can eat your way out of it! It all starts with small lifestyle changes that you can adapt to become part of you. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Maybe you sub in veggies for the fries; perhaps a water instead of a soda.

Maybe you skip the bacon; maybe even the cheese?!

Maybe next time you go for the veggie burger, or a black bean burger…

Little by little, you will notice your choices getting healthier and healthier, and eventually… you might not even say “yes” to the burger at all.
