Phytosterol Study Part One: Complete!!!

This past Wednesday marked the end of my first three-week phase of my phytosterol study. After three weeks of eating nothing but the provided menu, I was ready to get some other food in me. So Thursday, after my morning blood draw and stool sample collection, Carrie and I headed to a burger place for a nice, juicy hamburger. It was so delicious.

In addition to receiving all of my food for the past three weeks, I received a $100 check when I went in for my blood draw. But that's not all the good stuff. Check out this styling lunchbox they gave me, which they would fill each day with my lunch when I showed up for breakfast.

Now that round one is done, I'm off the study for the next few weeks. My second three-week session starts up again at the end of July. Needless to say, I will probably have a few meals in between that add to my LDL cholesterol count again. Gotta give them something to work on, after all!
