Praise the Lord! Since I've been tracking my food, I lost 12lbs of fat and lowered my cholesterol from 201 to 172. I take one fish oil (triple strength) and try to eat tuna for lunch a couple times a week and another fish for dinner a few nights a week. I am so happy I don't have to take any medications! If I can do it- so can you :)

    Way to go! I'm happy to hear that you were able to manage your cholesterol through diet. My husband was just diagnosed with high cholesterol and is also on a healthy diet, hopefully we'll see the same results as you, so he doesn't have to go on medication. Congratulations!

    Wow. That's awesome. I just got told today that my triglycerides were over 400. Normal is about 150. I didn't even HEAR the rest of the numbers. Doc has prescribed medication and i'm just very scared. I have 30 days to make a dent in my number before I go for more bloodwork.
