    Have you asked to be refered to a registered dietician? They may be able to sort a plan you are both happy with.

    In most people dietary fats have little impact on blood cholesterol.

    while true for most, if she is thin and has high cholesterol it could be caused by her thyroid disorder or it could possibly be hereditary,

    True, my cholesterol was high so I ate vegetarian for 10 years - didn't budge. I tried paleo and, bingo, it dropped below 200.

    Oh, and Hi, Loren!
