High cholesterol question for dietitian?!
Question: I am looking for some sights on line for food suggestions for high cholesteral. Don't know where to go. Can you help please? I just rec'd a call from my doc. She said my overall cholesterol is 230, LDL is 170. and HDL is a 45. She is putting me on a generic Zocor. I do excercise 3 times a week at Curves, and I do try to eat healthy (DH is on low/no fat diet for his cholesterol) and never go to fast food joints. She would like me to see a dietitian, but I am leaving town for a month on Friday. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not a dietitian but in health care and have high cholesterol myself Start with webmd lots of good info there on cholesterol management
I have high cholesterol too and can simply answer this one for you. Try eating nothing frozen or canned for a start. What is really healthy is eating raw fruits and vegetables, skinless baked chicken, baked fish... Don't eat fried food as they are very high in cholesterol and any processed foods as well. Baking foods removes alot of the extra and un needed cholesterol... If you want to know more e-mail me
hey junkie, (affectionately speaking of course)
are you sure that's high???
oh well, i have noticed through recipe sites some have nutritional info with them-
Get in touch with one of your local news programs they usually have a medical site with a Dr. input
good luck girl keep us posted
