Sorry HCChief, I have been told that before, keep getting them confused.

We had a spicy tuna last night with a tossed salad. Pretty good stuff. We have really been enjoying the salmon we pulled out of lake Michigan this summer, very tasty. I prefer it grilled, not smoked.

Mine was at 270 when I first got it checked, then I started exercising heavily, and after six months it was only down to 220. Had to go on medication. I'm tempted to try some kind of supplements and get rid of the medication, anybody had any luck with anything?

You are not going to believe what they tell you, it is probably going to be a real shocker. It is total reprogramming of the way we eat.

I was in a meeting with probably 30 people(part of our heart rehab program) when the nutritionist said 8 oz. of red meat a week.

I exclaimed rather loudly, I have at least that every day for lunch.
She said, "and that is why you are here."

You can try Red Wheat. They sell it at Costco. It's essentially Simvastatin, in its natural form.

It's been a staple of Chinese food for thousands of years and is one of the reasons why Chinese people generally don't have issues with cholesterol.

One of the owners of the company I worked for had crazy high readings, like 800. Supposedly on meds for it.
Didn't matter, we buried him when he was like 43. He left behind a very loving family.
The Doctors said the cholesterol plugged him up.

That shit's not to be taken lightly. I've never heard of someone having even close to his readings until now, wow.

I wish you luck in getting it under control.

If you are serious about lowering your cholesterol and keeping it low then consider a plant-based, whole foods diet.

Yep.

I am going to have to go by the nutritionist, because I evidently don't have a clue.

My biggest problem is going to be the fact that I don't like many of the foods they will suggest.

I used to use the low carb diet to control my weight, thinking that may have been a big contributor also.

But what is it?

I had never seen or heard of this type of rice before today

Without me getting into it if I were you I would do a significant amount of due diligence on this subject. Research cholesterol and how much it really does contribute to heart disease. I guarantee you will find some interesting information there. Also do a background on the drugs that they are giving you. Do not just do whatever your doctor says without questioning it. Get as much information from as many good sources as you can find. A nutritionist is a great place to start BTW. Good luck.

You're talking to a person who's cholesterol came back at 740. I don't think you understand what that entails.

You should buy a box of cheerios and tampax.

The Cheerios will fix your food problem and the tampax apparently take you kayaking, canoeing, mountain climbing and horse back riding for the exercise.


Solved.

That will be $300.
