Do you have hyperlipidemia or high cholesterol ? How old are you ?
Q. I'm in my mid-30's and my triglycerides and cholesterol are high. Please share your experience.
A. I'm 48 and mine were high, too. My doctor gave me three months to try to get it down on my own. I went on a no-fat diet...nothing fried, no red meat. no butter or margarine. Fish, nuts and olive oil are OK because they have the healthy kind of fat. Foods only steamed, grilled, etc. No more sauteed Chinese food! In three months, I got my total cholesterol down 100 points and triglycerides down 75 points, both now in a good range so I don't need medicine. You can do it! It does take discipline.....I didn't cheat. Also, I lost weight from this diet.
