(yet she was healthy) They took her off meat for 2 YEARS. She only ate rice, fruit and vegs. It didn't budge...and she had a feeling of weakness. With nothing to lose... she did a diet similar to the Atkins...no sugar and limited carbs. She was able to bring it down to 230...just by dieting. Medication brought it down another 20 points. (but now her liver is at risk from the meds)<BR/><BR/>My dad had a level of 180. He ate bacon & eggs every morning...and a beef steak for dinner EVERY DAY. <BR/><BR/>I don't put too much into cholesterol levels in my family. WE seem to be born meat eaters.Envoy-ettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038921847704727550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047856.post-1122955858982256912005-08-01T23:10:00.000-05:002005-08-01T23:10:00.000-05:00Dorothy and I eat the same food yet she has high c...Dorothy and I eat the same food yet she has high cholesterol and I have low.
