My LDLs just went up to 149 and I need to get it down to 100mg/dl I am exercising every day. I am eating a low fat diet, lots of salads, chicken, etc... Any dietary suggestions to help lower my LDLs ?

    Hi,
    I too just got blood work done and discovered, to my horror that my LDL was 107. Understand that in June 2013 it was 53. I was taking Lipitor at that time. I stopped in July. I'm a health nut; a whole food vegan and avid HIIT, strength and aerobic trainer. I have all the healthy cholesterol markers covered. The moral of my and I assume your story is, some people are simply predisposed to high levels of LDL and must medicate along with all the other healthy factors in place. I'm back on 10mg Lipitor daily and hoping for better numbers in 6 months when I take my next blood test.
