Tasty Meal Replacement Bars

These are great tasting bars and easy to eat.  They come in very handy for those times when you need something to eat NOW and can't stop and cook something.  Many people reach for the closest thing available to them and that often isn't a good choice.
Cinch Meal Bars!
Thank you Shaklee!!!!

A Cholesterol Success Story

Product Testimony.. (NEW Cholesterol Reduction Complex) from a Shaklee Member
I am so excited!
I finally got my doctor off my back regarding my cholesterol. As you know it is in my genes and have been fighting this for years. My doctor kept telling me to increase my medicine and I wanted to get off it. I refused to use more than 40 mg and told her to give me a year and would get it down. Last March my numbers were high.

Cholesterol was 271
HDL 80
LDL 169
 Past years the numbers were not much better. I was excited when they came out with the NEW Cholesterol Reduction Complex last year and thought that would help. Unfortunately it dropped numbers a little but still not enough.

 After we talked I was kicking myself. Shaklee is not medication and I could take more than the recommended dosage. So I increased my Cholesterol to two 15 minutes before each meal. [I learned from Barb's email that she was told taking 15 min before meal was ok and set my alarm on my phone so would remember].

 I continued the lecithin and added two stress tabs and increased my fiber and exercise. [all as you recommended] In the past I was eating really good and exercising 5-6 times a week and my numbers were still not great.

Well it all worked because I just got my new numbers.
Cholesterol went from 271 to 191
HDL Cholesterol went from 80 to 70 and
LDL Cholesterol went from 169 to 97.

I understand my doctor being worried knowing my little sister had a heart attack 2 years ago. She also has the high Cholesterol issue. This worries my doctor thinking this will happen to me. Difference is I am taking Shaklee and she is not.
