Lowering Cholesterol
Anyone have some good tips?
Just found out mine is way high, and I watch the cholesterol mg's in alot of things but basically I think I need to exercise and figure out a way to get a new genetic makeup 
Drugs are not an option right now.

I have the same problem. Try to eat less oils & fats, more fiber and whole grains, excercise, no alcohol.

Re: Lowering Cholesterol
My doctor told me to lose weight & exercise.
She suggested:
*limiting carbs to whole grains, fruit & veggies and to try to eat them earlier in the day.
*eat more fish and lean meats, limit red meat
*take Omega-3
*lower fat options for dairy products

Re: Lowering Cholesterol
Let me tell you- my cholesteral was REALLY high and I started to eat oatmeal and it went down drastically.
Just get those little packages ( flavored)
thats what I used. I hear if you put a scoop of soy lecitin( like little waxy tasteless beads) in your oj thats effective as well.
Years ago my dad did this for my
grandpa and he was abe to stop taking his prescription medicine.

I thought I remembered hearing something about oatmeal, I thought maybe it was a ploy by Quaker to sell more oatmeal LOL
This I can defintely do , have oatmeal and fruit for breakfast.
