Lowering my cholesterol.

Hello,
I don't think my health issue is unique but maybe there are other's out there that are struggling with high cholesterol either by diet or like myself, a genetic disposition. I am a fit, active individual using MFP to keep track of the food that I put in my body. Losing the weight is always a plus, but my primary goal is to lower my cholesterol to avoid taking statins. I am now doing a 10 step plan to help lower my LDL. Hopefully, I will actually implement MFP into my routine so that I can be successful in food awareness.
If any of you are on the same journey and would like to toss around recipes, motivation etc I'm here

me too. I am on a statin but trying to avoid a higher dose.
I am curious about your 10 step program @IES1982 . I am trying to keep my fats to between 25 - 30% of total calories on mfp and I have upped my fiber to 30 grams a day. And of course, exercise.
What is the program you are on?0 -
I have the same condition and trying to do the same. What's your cholesterol level?? What's your strategy towards it?? Please add me and involve me as a mutual motivational friend.0
