[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 425038, member: 12578"] As stated by others there is a lot of controversy and some people have diametrically opposed views on the type and amount of fats in the diet.(though probably all agree that it is better to eat natural rather than manufactured products) There are several sheets on the HeartUK website (this is a charity originally founded to help those with very high genetic cholesterol levels; a condition that caused even young children to die of heart disease) [url=http://heartuk.org.uk/healthy-living/healthy-living-resources]http://heartuk.org.uk/healthy-living/he ... -resources[/url] The first mentioned diet (Portfolio) is one that has been trialled and the results published and was found to lower LDL cholesterol by a similar amount to a low dose statin. It does however make use of manufactured drinks containing plant phytosterols, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytosterol]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytosterol[/url] if you want to avoid them, it's worth noting the natural foods that contain them ( eg olive oil, chickpeas, avocados) Lots of plant foods in your diet seems to help (see the Med diet sheet) Oily fish also seems to be good for helping lower triglycerides. [url=http://www.webmd.boots.com/cholesterol-management/features/low-cholesterol-diet-fatty-fish]http://www.webmd.boots.com/cholesterol- ... fatty-fish[/url] As well as lowering your LDL, you need to think about raising HDL, that's where exercise can help.
