Besides this forum I also hang out on Dr. Bernstein's forum since I have diabetes. There is an amazing post by one of the members whose cholesterol droppped from 700 to the 300's by adding okra, eggplant, almonds, and Metamucil to Dr. B's diet, which is similar to Protein Power's phase 1. His results are so amazing, I thought some might like to read the post:

This regime is usually connected to a vegan diet (Portfolio diet), so I was interested in the fact that the results were so dramatic with our kind of WOE.
Here's another link to a clinic who recommends this practice and doesn't demonize saturated fats. They are having good success as well.

What impresses me is these treatment options are PP friendly, and might give those of us who tend towards high cholesterol another boost besides just low carbing.
