My Dallas physical therapist advised me to keep my vegan diet. I’ve been on this diet for 3 years now. And if your dad can’t give up meat, there’s veggie meat i.e. veggie tuna, as an alternative. And it’s made of organic ingredients so it’s healthy. Cholesterol-free!

I had a quadruple bypass in 2000 and my current cardiologist has me following the “Eat to Live” book by Dr. Fuhrman. It does allow for some meat but it is primarily vegetarian. In fact, the first 6 weeks of the diet is completely vegetarian. I have been on the diet for 8 weeks now and my cholesterol is right where the cardiologist wants it. It may not be the best diet for your father, but it has certainly been recommended by one of the world’s best cardiologists. He even follows that life style himself.
