Step One Foods Testimonials

Step One Foods helped reduce my cholesterol by 37 points and my LDL by 38 points when eaten two times per day. I was not able to accomplish these results by diet and exercise only so I am thrilled with the results. Your products are also quite delicious - especially the Dark Chocolate Crunch Bars, the Blueberry Oatmeal, the Sprinkles and the Dark Chocolate Walnut Bars. Thank you Doctor Klodas and Step One Foods!

Last September I had some routine blood tests. When I received my results, I was shocked. My cholesterol was 242. I work out and I try to eat healthily but I knew my problem. I am gluten free and it’s hard to find a tasty GF snack so I would whack off a piece of cheese. I used melted butter on my toast, vegetables and potatoes. That needed to stop. I started doing research and found Step One Foods. It was an option I wanted to try. A couple days later my doctor’s office called asking me to come in to discuss my cholesterol. I told her, “Give me 30 days.” I immediately started Step One foods. It was easy. The food is delicious and satisfying. I substituted their blueberry oatmeal for my regular oatmeal. I used their nut butter on toast instead of my regular butter. I ate a Step One bar mid-afternoon for my snack. I gave up butter and cheese unless it was baked into a dish. Thirty days later I requested another test. I was down 25 points to 217. My doctor’s office called and told me I no longer needed to come in, just keep what I was doing. Five months later I requested another test. I was down another 17 points to 200. I am now in the normal range. I want to go down lower. The nurse in my doctor’s office asked me what I was doing so I told her about Step One Foods. She had never heard of them and said she would look into them because some of their patients do not want a statin. I never believed this program would be so easy. The food is fantastic. The customer service is great. Any time I fire off an email with a question I receive a prompt answer. I read every blog and new review. I have become educated on cholesterol and know how much I am ingesting without looking it up. I am in control. I recommend Step One Foods to anyone wanting to bring down their cholesterol. When you talk to your doctor just say, “Give me 30 days.”

For those of you with FH and have been told that changing eating habits won’t make change…don’t lose heart. Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL hit an all time high at the age of 60. Have had terrible side effects to statins so the cardiologist recommended injectables. Told him I wanted to stick with 10 mg Zetia, change my diet and step up my use of Step One Foods. His response…I don’t think it will work…but you can try. One year later that same dear cardiologist reads my lipid panel and says…what have you been doing? Did a little finger point dance and said…Step One Foods…along with Zetia, no red meat, lots of fish, berries and nuts, a daily walk. The result…the lowest my cholesterol has been in 30 years. Once a high of 324 now 245. LDL 238 to 160. HDL 42 to 60. And to top it off…I’ve lost 8 pounds. Never say never, my friends! Thank you, Dr. Klodas!!

I started using Step One Foods in 2024 when my total Cholesterol hit 216 and LDL 133. My total cholesterol dropped to 188 in 2025, and LDL dropped to 101. Reduction most likely would have been better had I decreased the sweet intake. I have a sweet tooth. And if I ate more of the Step One foods than I did. I love the pancakes, and smoothie mixes, but the snack bars are my favorites in this order. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter (Yum!!), Dark Chocolate Crunch with walnuts, I think it is and the lemon almond bar. I also love the oatmeal. All delicious and helps curve my sweet tooth cravings while helping reduce cholesterol levels. Thank you Step One Foods.

I must admit i was a little skeptical when i ordered,but after a month my LDL cholesterol dropped from 132 to 78. I was excited so i kept ordering and my LDL varies somewhat but the doctor is satisfied with it staying under 90. Its been about 2 yrs and i still take it. I do take the lowest dose of a statin which my doctor recommended,with no problems. The first month was all Step One so i know that it definitely helps. I am very satisfied and will continue. Some days i have one portion and some two,as i also drink Ensure. I will be 82 and just had my yearly physical. Everything Good. Thanks Step One.
