I have high cholesterol which I’m struggling to control even on the highest rise of statins. Cream and fat are no good for me.
I would experiment. Don't believe all you are told by the authorities. My cholesterol has fallen since having fewer carbs and more fat. Interestingly if I have cow's dairy my TC levels are higher than if I have goat's dairy. I believe this isn't a problem with the fat per se, just that I have a mild intolerance to cow's dairy ( a naturopath has advised me of the intolerance) and therefore my cholesterol rises as a response to inflammation...In other words my rise in cholesterol protects me from any adverse effects due to my mild dairy intolerance.
Back to my daily routine.
Breakfast - 2 cups of tea (full caffeine) with whole milk
snacks - tea (decaff for the rest of the day) made with 'milk' from a jug made from 30 mls cream and topped up to half pint with water
- or coffee with cream.
lunch - none except on Weds when I have nuts.
dinner - eaten as soon as I feel hungry from 4 pm onwards - low carb veg and a little meat (not a keen meat eater but I do have some) or soup followed by cheese and tomato.
supper - 7g 99% choc, maybe some nuts too.
also 2 litres of water a day minimum
If I am hungry before 4pm I have a few nuts, but this is more from boredom with my daily tasks than an actual need to eat.
