How I did it: I buckled down -- hard.  Started reading the nutrition labels for everything I ate.  Much more fiber, huge reduction in saturated fats.  Started taking heart-healthy supplements.

Lessons & tips: It requires discipline.  Do you want to die young?  No?  Then get your shit together, listen to your doctor and do some research.  And STICK TO THE PLAN.

Resources: Udo's Oil -- a mix of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
Co-Enzyme Q-10 supplement from GNC.
GNC Ultra Mega Men's Heart Health multivitamin.
