The following couple paragraphs are only for those who want to understand how this works.

You don't have to understand how in order for it to work. What you need to know to understand why this works. The first thing is what cholesterol does in the body. What is its job? Everything in the body has a purpose; otherwise we would not have it. So what does cholesterol do?

Cholesterol’s primary job is to carry glucose (sugar) around the blood stream. You need an equal number of cholesterol units as you have sugar molecules in your blood. So if you have 3000 sugar molecules in your blood, you need 3,000 cholesterol molecules to carry them. The actual numbers are much, much higher than this, but you get the point.

The more glucose or sugar molecules you have in your blood, the more cholesterol you need to carry them.

Your blood sugar levels are constantly changing. Your body is always trying to keep your blood sugar levels with in a normal range for you. But after years of abuse from you, your body does not always do such a good job.

So what affects your blood sugar levels? Mostly what you eat. Refined Carbohydrates. When you eat refined carbohydrates, the get digested and absorbed into the blood stream very quickly. Your body then very quickly converts the refined carbohydrates into glucose. This causes a spike in your blood glucose levels.

Everyone has witnessed this. Ever see a kid after they eat a bunch of sugar? They are bouncing off the walls, because all of that sugar gets turned into glucose in the blood very quickly. So they have tons of energy, because glucose is one of the things your muscles use for energy.

The same thing happens to you when you eat sugar and other refined carbohydrates. Your body quickly converts them into glucose in the blood. And if you have a high amount of glucose in the blood, what do you need again? That is right; you need lots of cholesterol to carry those glucose guys around.

Your body is smart. It learns from the past. If you are constantly having high amounts of glucose because of the food you eat, your body prepares. Your body prepares for the next time that you eat refined carbohydrates. It prepares by having lots of cholesterol on reserves to deal with the certain increase in glucose levels that are inevitably going to happen.

So if you eat refined carbohydrates often (daily) your body prepares by keeping lost of cholesterol on reserve to deal with this. This is one of the biggest reasons why so many people have high cholesterol levels. Your body is smart, and it is preparing for the inevitable of your blood glucose levels going way up from eating refined carbohydrates.

Like I said, your body is smart. It is a very quick learner. If you quit eating food that makes your blood sugar levels high, your body will get rid of the excess of cholesterol levels in your blood. That is why, often with in weeks, your cholesterol levels drop significantly, often 50 or 100 or more points, when you quit eating refined carbohydrates.

What are refined carbs to avoid?

Now, the trick comes with, what is “refined carbohydrates”. Refined carbohydrates are things that are mostly calories from carbohydrates. And that have been refined from how they are found in nature. Great, what does that mean? Things like breads, crackers, pastas, sugar (in most forms), and grains are often refined carbohydrates.
