The cholesterol took a few months to get to 135 or so, again no meds

Jimbo, I admire your commitment to your plant-based lifestyle.
Serious question.
Do you think your improvement in blood pressure and cholesterol happened because you lost 40 lbs, or because of your plant-based diet?
I realize that your diet was a key factor in your weight loss, but if you had lost 40 lbs on a different type of diet, do you think your numbers would still have significantly improved?
