Paul DiMeo: Extreme Cholesterol Makeover
Healthy on the Home Front
When he’s back in Los Angeles in his 1920s Hollywood Hills house, Paul says he has little problem eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
The things that help Paul on his low-cholesterol plan:
- He and his wife, Kelly, mostly eat home-cooked meals so they can control what they consume.
- He indulges in a little chocolate now and again—though only a little, he says.
- He relieves stress by playing with his two puppies, Nizhoni and Lucy.
On the road, however, it’s harder. Paul travels about 250 days of the year, making it a real challenge to stay focused on a heart-smart lifestyle. But, he says, he makes the effort. “Managing my heart health is a lifetime commitment, and I’m working with all the tools that I’ve got,” he says.
