[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 1584992"] I'm Type 2 and I take statins. I'm on a LCHF diet. I eat three egg yolks every day (along with 9-12 egg whites, avocado, bacon, oily fish, etc etc. I fry virtually everything (omelettes, fried eggs, bacon etc.) Admittedly, I exercise a lot - usually twice a day and my cholesterol has come down but not to a point where I can come off statins (probably unlikely.) I would be careful about coming off statins without medical advice. And well done on loosing the 3.5 stones. Unfortunately, weight loss does not necessarily equate with cholesterol levels (and, although i am not brilliant at explaining it, the cholesterol figure they give you is based on the proportion of good to bad cholesterol - which means it can be manipulated by eating more of the good fats! Worth bearing in mind. Good luck Sean [/QUOTE]
