High cholesterol and blood pressure

Meal plans for cholesterol and blood pressure.

We review carbohydrate portions, cooking oil, salt, fibre and weight alongside your reports. Your plan supports your doctor's care, with progress reviewed over time.

What the numbers mean

We review your cholesterol levels and blood pressure together.

Total cholesterol on its own tells you very little. What matters is LDL, HDL and triglycerides against each other, alongside your blood pressure and your belly fat.

Triglycerides respond fastest to food, often within weeks, and they answer to carbs and sugar more than to fat. LDL is slower and partly genetic. Whatever your doctor decides about medicine, everything on the plate is ours to work on.

What clients arrive with

Does your last lipid report look like this?

A lipid profile flagged in red at a company health check

Triglycerides well above range, LDL borderline

Blood pressure creeping up at every visit

Prescribed a statin and wanting food guidance alongside it

Already on medication and the numbers still are not right

A family history of heart disease that worries you

Switched to a fancy oil and seen no change

Eating out or travelling for work most weeks

Triglycerides answer to carbs and sugar more than to fat. That is why your plan starts with the carbs on your plate.

How the plan works

How we build your plan.

First

Carbs: how much, which kind, with what

Rice and roti stay, in the right portion and paired with dal, curd or sabzi. Maida, bakery, sweets and cold drinks go first, because triglycerides fall fastest when they do.

Second

Oil, quantity and kind

A monthly oil budget for the household, measured, and the right oils for the way you actually cook.

Third

Fibre and hidden salt

Soluble fibre at every meal, and the papad, pickle, namkeen and packaged salt you are not counting.

Fourth

Walking and belly fat

Daily walking and losing belly fat move HDL and blood pressure together.

What we track

Full lipid profile every three months
Home blood pressure readings, twice a week
Fasting glucose, HbA1c and liver enzymes
Waist measurement and body composition
Monthly cooking oil use for the household

Foods people ask about

Ghee: stays, measured, not banned
Eggs: stay, including the yolk for most people
Nuts: yes, a fixed handful, not a bowl
Coconut oil: fine in small amounts, not a health food
Garlic capsules and cholesterol teas: not worth the money

Questions we get asked

Cholesterol questions.

Will I still need a statin?

Your doctor decides whether you need a statin, based on your overall risk. Nutrition support can work alongside prescribed treatment.

Do I have to stop ghee and eggs?

No. Both stay in measured amounts. Refined carbs, sugar and fried food matter far more for most people.

Which cooking oil is best?

Which oil matters less than how much you use. We usually settle on two oils for different jobs and a fixed monthly quantity.

How fast do lipids change?

Triglycerides often move within six to eight weeks. LDL takes three months or more to show a real trend.

Will you manage my blood pressure medication?

No. That stays with your doctor. We work on the salt, carbs and belly fat driving it, and share your readings.

Can I do this from outside India?

Yes. Send your lipid profile and a fortnight of home readings and we work on video.

Riddhi's note

Everyone arrives ready to give up ghee and nobody arrives ready to give up the evening biscuits. For most of my clients the second one is what the report was actually about.
