im 30, and i had a blood test recently for my own piece of mind as high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes have all affected my father. when i spoke to the doctor i was shocked to hear my cholesterol is high, and i have 3 months to get it down..
i am 3 weeks into eating healthy, and avoiding and limiting my saturated fats, and increasing my poly unsaturated and mono unsaturated fats.
i've swiched to low fat(skim) milk. i dont use butter, or marg. if i fry i use olive oil only, i've changed recipes or created new ones, to omit cream. i eat oats for brekkie.
the next thing on my list is to excersise...
i find out in 3 months if i have to go on medication.... or if i've won..

Hi princesstoads. I am totalyl with you on this journey, although I'm a little older than you your story is very similar to my own, my doc has given me until xmas to get my levels down. We could motivate each other if you would like to add me as a friend. Good luck.0
