I hear a lot of conflicting opinions about this lately. The doctor informed DH that it's time to start watching the cholesterol, not an easy task for a meat lover. When he gave him the list of foods to avoid, DH asked what food CAN HE EAT? Dr. said just do the best you can. It's not dangerously high and he doesn't have to take drugs to lower it yet, but for the sake of good health, I'm looking for your best suggestions.
So, we have started with the oatmeal or cheerios in the morning, no weekend bacon anymore, and only 2 eggs on the weekend. I can't stomach the idea of using margarine, so I'll have to continue using butter, maybe just less. And we already use olive oil. Beyond this, I'm lost and it seems like most people I know don't last very long on a low cholesterol "diet" anyway.
I read an article recently on another forum that made me think that maybe all this concern about cholesterol is a bunch of b.s. What tried and true "natural methods" have you used? Thanks everyone.
