Recently I was given the news from a doctor that my cholesterol is WAY TO HIGH. Over all Cholesterol was 290. Just Bad. I went on a lower cholesterol campaign. I mean if it had the big "C" in it, it was gone! The local men's shelter had a good dinner that night.
Well, now it's less than 3 months later. I have stuck to the plan. No butter, no fatty red meat, not much red meat at all. No cheese, no foods with almost any cholesterol. If I say I'm going to do it, I almost always do. When it comes to fighting age, and bad health. So the news, as you might guess is good. No, it's not good. It's outstanding! My new readings on my blood panel are normal almost everywhere. Over all Cholesterol is now 208 (normal is <200), down from 290. Just from changing the food "I do not, eat". Adding a few new things to eat that lower the big "C". No oats thought! Apple juice, albacore tuna, almond butter, chicken no skin, lots of olive oil, garlic pills, coffee and non fat half and half, high quality margarine un-cooked. There's is more to. The point is I did all this with out DRUGS!! The doctor was just pushing cholesterol drugs on me like a cheap drug lord on the street. He never believed I could bring my over all # down more than 15 to 25 points with just changing my food. Ha!!!
Here's the numbers. I'm proud of them.
Over all then 290
Over all now 208 (that's 82 points in less than 3 months, EAT THAT DR. KNOW IT ALL)
HDL then 88.0 (that's the HDL of a GOD, well a 30 year old marathon runner)
HDL now 78.0 (that's still a great number)
LDL then 183 (not that good)
LDL now 114 (normal is 74-131)
My ratios, LDL divided by HDL is fantastic, then and now!
Hey folks you can do this to. The drugs are just horrible for lowering cholesterol. Very very bad on the liver. Your liver goes bad you DIE! Food is the key. I am genetically predisposed to have high cholesterol. I did this with food in less than 3 months. You can to. If you what to know more write me.

Good for you. You might also consider fish oil tablets. Get them in bulk at Wal-Mart. I've dropped my CHOL using only those. Screw the Docs and their drugs. Mine always wants to put me on Lipitor. I tell him "No way." There is no heart disease in my (blood) family. My dad is 82 and good. Physically I can do more than 99% of his clientele. My last treadmill test was off the hook.
AND I wouldn't take the damn pills even if he DID perscribe them!
