    I can't speak to whether you need cholesterol meds, (for example - my mom is 5'1, maybe 110 lbs on a bad day, is a complete fanatic about low fat everything .. and has been cholesterol meds for as long as I can remember.)

    Exercise is going to have a much larger impact on your cholesterol than diet will. I got my cholesterol from 300 to 160, eating bacon, eggs, and butter (sometimes all at the same time) all the while ...

    I just got my lab results and my Triglycerides are the only normal one. I have lost over 100lbs and eat mainly fruits and veggies.
    I am having them rechecked because they drew blood late afternoon after drinking and eating all day so I don't believe these are correct. (I had not ate in 4 hours) prior to lab draw but still not a true fasting. I thought oh mine will be great with loosing weight and eating healthy. Just not always true.
