[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 940883, member: 66676"] Sorry if I sounded presumptuous, which is not what I intended... However, if I may be precocious this time, I think you have hit the nail on the head of your cholesterol difficulties: exercise. Three years ago my cholesterol was in the low 4's but the HDL/LDL/Triglycerides ratios were all wrong. The consultant told me that a modest increase in activity would reverse that. It is also important to note that everyone has differing cholesterol requirements and that the guidance should be viewed as that - give or take a few percentage points - providing one is living a healthy lifestyle. Since going LCHF-ish (with more veg), cutting out the statins and increasing daily activity, I've seen my cholesterol ratios drastically improve - even though there has been a slight overall rise in the total level. Do EVERYTHING you possibly can to increase your physical activity on a daily basis and you will see a benefit (eg. park the car at the farthest point of the car park from the entrance to shops, restaurants, attractions, etc.; speed up your walking; take up cycling, etc. ) Best wishes, Conrad [/QUOTE]
