how low can you go?

[donnarob]

Okay, if it comes back high, what measures do I take to lower it? I pride myself in not using salt in cooking unless it's for pasta or potatoes which I very rarely eat. I try and walk every day and vary my diet, concentrating on low carbs. However, I've heard you can have very high cholesterol even if you're not overweight or have diabetes?

Exercise mainly but here is a diet sheet to lower chols.

Having said that exercise and diet can only have alimited impact on lowering chols.
Fortunately there is a great class of drugs, statins, that do wonders with cholesterol problems.
