The doctor says that I have high cholesterol but I have been eating foods that say 0 mg Cholesterol in the food label, but may have some mg of saturated fat.

What is the difference ?

I’m not sure how I can eat any differently to lower this. I’m already on one cholesterol lowering drug and would hate to have to take another one.

I’m so confused about what to do differently or what to do next.

What foods can my Dad eat that is good for like the good cholesterol. He has high cholesterol.

When you grocery shop and look for low cholesterol foods, what number is too high?

Can certain foods actually remove cholesterol? Like oatmel?

I am a 20 year-old female college student. My overall cholesterol number is 197, just under 200. My good cholesterol is 51 (anything over 40 is good). My bad cholesterol is 132 (it’s supposed to be under 100).

I would like to get my cholesterol under control before it gets worse. What are some PRACTICAL things that I can do now to get it lowered? Being a college student I do not have the ability to devote 20 something hours a week to working out. Please be specific. A list of foods to avoid would be most helpful.
I am not overweight. In fact, if I lose anymore than 5 pounds I’ll be underweight.

And if you have high cholesterol do you have it for life? No way of making the cholesterol low ?

How can i lower my cholesterol 50 points in less then 3 months ?

Mostly saturated fat contains cholesterol but isnt it the amount of saturated fat that is going to determine the rise in ldl? Not the dietary cholesterol?
Yeah so the excess saturated fat which messes with insulin sensitivity and the insulin resistance from saturated fat indirectly can contribute to the body’s liver making more cholesterol vldl, because insulin is require for natural cholesterol biosynthesis? Seems to make sense.
I am wondering if the limiting of dietary saturated fat is good but one may not have to worry about dietary cholesterol so much. Take a food like egg yolks, which are low in saturated fat but high in cholesterol and vitamins. Should it be a concern. Esp if one is prone to diabetes, heart disease and a carrier for hypercholesterolemia.

I was just informed that my cholesterol is extremely high. Other than meds how can I lower my cholesterol. For instance what kinds of foods are good or bad.
