Having been recently diagnosed with high cholesterol I have decided to change some of my eating habits, along with exercise and having to take lipitor.
I have divided the 7 days of the week as follows for my main meal:
Fish - consume 2 x per week
Chicken or turkey - consume 2 x per week
Pasta - consume once per week
Veggie meal - consume once per week
Red meat - consume once per week
I have started walking 2.5 miles 3 to 4 times per week.
Switch to 1% milk (I tried skim, but detested it and also tried soy and hated it)
Eliminate as much as possible of animal fat. Consume whole grains, fresh fruits, veggies and limit eggs to 2 per week.
Include ground flaxseed into either fat free yogurt, cereal or salad.
I have banned all soy products from my house as I recently became aware of their affinity to stimulate estrogen, which in turn is a factor in breast cancer.
Happy cholesterol lowering!
