re: Who here has high cholesterol?

My numbers 1.5 months ago

trigs 1100
Chol 260
Sugar 540

got my bloodwork back today and with diet and supplements Red Yeast Rice, Milkthistle and Krill Oil my numbers today were so good my doc put smiley faces by them


trigs 198
chol 207, HDL went up to from 30 to 40, still got to work on the LDL

sugar 140, just gave up anything fried (seriously dying for a french fry), white bread, pasta, sweets and cokes


for breakfast I found this Dave's Killer Bread, about 10 different nutrient profiles, its nutrient dense but has very little fat, good carbs and a ton of fiber with lite butter and chia seeds with blueberries and a half avocado or a couple of eggs and some bacon or sausage for protein

I eat fresh kale, edamame, red and white onion, sweet potatoes, green beans, spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, squash, zuccinni, lean chicken, salmon, and chipotle soy/black bean burgers as my main meals, using very light oils to cook them with

salad for lunch

with kiwi, raw carrots, blueberries, yogurt and almonds, walnuts, unsalted peanuts for snacks

usually drink about 100 oz of water a day with either lime or lemon

and a high protein snack a few hours before bed.

seems to be working and it wasnt really that hard to change. plus that is without working out...I wanted to see if my diet alone would help so now since Im pretty physical at work I ll also add some cardio and see what they are in 3 months when I go back.
