Take the Cheerios Challenge

	You could lower your cholesterol 4% in 6 weeks
	Receive a coupon for $1 off Cheerios each week of the challenge.
	That’s $6 in savings!

A clinical study showed that eating two 1 ½ cup servings daily of Cheerios cereal for 6 weeks reduced bad cholesterol about 4 percent when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

"Egg-stra" Special Whites

Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

Success

Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet before putting in the oven to keep pesky drips in check.

Variation

If you’re an almond or walnut lover, use them in place of the pecans.

You can't taste the difference between this and a regular full-fat cheesecake. Even my picky sister loved it!
