My cholesterol levels have gone down.....

[Terry36]

15 pionts HDL and 17 points for my overall cholesterol however my LDL went down 1 point.

I have made the following life changes:

• Drink skim milk
• eat fiber one cereal every morning
• eat 3 to 4 servings of fruit a day
• drink 4 or 5 17 oz. water bottles a day
• take fish oil tablets twice a day
• I have stopped eating pasta (white)
• I have limited my intake of packaged cheeses - this is killing me

At first I lost 9 pounds but I have gained it all back. I am not too bothered because I can see the difference in my clothing. Maybe I am building muscles.

I also try to do 45 minutes of cardio each day.

Thanks. I am really trying to become healthier. I am currently 160 lbs and 5 ft 5; I want to loose 10 - 15 lbs.

HDL is the good cholesterol and LDL is the bad cholesterol.

Did your HDL go down? I would double check your numbers. Good luck to you.

Thanks!

The bad went down 15 points and the good went down 1. I get confused on the Acronyms.
