High cholesterol any tips to get it down[/QUOTE
Do you have diabetes, too?
I was diagnosed with high cholesterol before the diabetes. I joined Slimming world on a low fat diet and lost a stone and 4 pounds.most people on this forum would advocate low carb and high fat, but I don't yet have the nerve to try the high fat. However, there's such a wealth of knowledge here that I'm sure someone will be able to advise you.
Good luck!☺

The LCHF diet did the trick for me, got really great results. In any event the LCHF diet is well known for its improving the lipid profile

Take a look at the advice from the British Heart Foundation on reducing cholesterol levels:

Hi. The important thing about cholesterol is to keep the LDL/HDL ratio right. Many would say the total doesn't really matter. You should also find that a low-carb diet helps with the ratio and increasingly saturated fat is seen to have little effect on blood cholesterol. There are many discussions out there, so read them and make up your own mind on the best way forward, but the low-carb diet with adequate proteins, fats and veg is a good start

Mine improved with the Meditereanean Diet by including avocados and olives. Always lower carbs but the olive oil dresings, and other 2 significantly redressed my probs with cholesterol.
