I started off doing a modified version of the Prolon diet with the main thing being to try to match the macro breakdown as much as possible. I erred on the side of lower calories and macros and this is what I came up with to try and match the spirit of the FMD. I kept it very simple and straight for...

Hello all, I'm a 33 year old female living in the southern U.S. who just found out through 23andme that i'm Apoe 4/4. My entire life i've struggled with very high triglycerides, often over 1000.
