If you can afford it, have one session with a dietician. They can explain what you need to do, tell you what kinds of foods those are, but they also listen to your life and give real suggestions that you can actually work with, really helpful.
Thank you for this
I came to say dietitian! They are surprisingly cheap and can suggest recipes and changes to foods you already like.
I say dietician too. I reduced my cholesterol back into ‘acceptable’ level after 6 weeks.
The person I saw printed off information about polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, trans and saturated fats.
It’s essential for healthy brains that the body gets x amount of fat per day, but in the end, all fat is fat but choosing less unhealthy and more healthy is what led to the change.
I got my dietician free after visiting my GP. I got 5 free visits and only needed 2.
Good luck
This is great thanks for the info.
I second this this is how a ketone's diet works . Eat fat to lose fat. In turn it reduces your cholesterol, diabetes, blood pressure etc .. My husband and I have all these things within the normal levels since eating predominantly fat for 5 yrs. It's been proven time and time again that fat is good for us and aids in reducing health problems but yet so many ppl continue to believe the outdated foods triangle that teaches carbs and sugars ( fruits and some veg are sugars) are better than fats . Nothing could be more wrong. A good, modern day dietician will tell you this and help you on the right path.
It could be heredity and therefore impossible to reduce it without taking statins. Cholesterol is only bad if it's the bad Cholesterol that is high. If the good cholesterol is high, it is not a problem and statins will be useless and unnecessary. Most drs won't tell you this .
