I am on a vegetarian/vegan diet for my cholesterol levels. I am trying to lose about two pounds within the next 2 weeks week and a half. In the few weeks I plan to lose five. I am seeing a specialist doctor and regular doctor. I need to lose about forty pounds. It was 262 last time and god forbid it is higher. My question is apart from losing weight and exercising/diet alone would it lower my levels significantly if I follow a vegan diet within the next month or more? I do drink soy milk but it has no cholesterol anyway. I am going to try no diary and eggs and meat for a while or a few months at least or within the next three months. And if my cholesterol lowers significantly then that is good for me. Another question is, How many miligrams of cholesterol can a person safely ingest a week and be safe from the high levels, such as 15 mg?

Part of my homework is to make a list of foods that have cholesterol in them, a few kinds of food for each 5 "types" of cholesterol. My text book says nothing about the 5 types, and I can’t seem to find anything on google.

If you know these 5 "types" of cholesterol, please let me know!

Thank you … I’m kind of confused!

I’ve read that eating oatmeal every day can lower your cholesterol, but just how effective is it? Would you have to eat tons and tons of it for it to be effective? Or is it how regularly you eat it that lowers your cholesterol?

This seems logical to me as many alcoholics have low cholesterol because their livers are damaged. Therefore they cannot manufacture and produce cholesterol from the liver and use it to regulate hearth health,hormonal function and Bone health not to mention proper vitamin d Synthesis.

I’m taking omega 3 supplements to reduce inflammation, are there any side effects like raising cholesterol?

My doctor checked my cholesterol in October and it was kinda borderline high. She checked it again last week, and she said my liver is fine but my cholesterol could be better.

I am 4 months pregnant, and I don’t want to be put on cholesterol medicine right now, what else can be done besides eating healthy which I am doing my best at. Also exercise.
