Look at vegetable Protein

Do you typically follow a high protein/low carb diet? If so, this may well be the culprit. It's a lot more common with low carb diets than people realize.

The first thing I'd do is start reading labels. Low carb diets are typically high in fat, which by the way is unavoidable. Trying to stay away from saturated fat will help. Also, chicken and fish have much less saturated fats than beef. Vegetable Protein is even better but harder to get enough of without meat, too.

I'd also talk to your nutritionist. Tell her about your blood work and let her help you make adjustments to your diet.

Best wishes to you!

Patty just recently posted a link to the web site for that Smart Balance and they have some really good recipes.http://www.smartbalance.com/recipes.

I'm going for cholesterol numbers in a couple of weeks and I do the low carb and this has concerned me if my diet is going to keep it high, or maybe since I'm down 76lbs it's getting better, or back to the statins (runs in the family). Ugh and oatmeal really does help, my dad eats it every day. I can't stand it though, try to love it, but no go.

Genetics can be a major player when it comes to high cholesterol for many people...glad to hear that your numbers have moved down along with your weight loss, though!

My family has genetically bad cholesterol. Despite having lost 170 pounds I had to go on a statin. I eat a very low fat low cholesterol diet and exercise 7 days a week.
