Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi Irene, I am new to this forum. Why do you avoid fresh zucchini and summer squash? I have fructose malabsorption, and I need to include veggies in my diet even if they don't exactly follow the ER4YT plan. Those two, along with dark green leafy veggies are the few that I can eat without getting a reaction. Thanks, Elsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I eat tuna or salmon a few times per week, fish oil & flax oil caps, ground flax seed in smoothies, sprinkled on food, etc. I still eat a lot of beef and lamb, and my cholesterol is under 200. =-) E Long O+ Gatherer in Austin, TX Posted by: " bluequilter1 " bluequilter1@... <mailto:bluequilter1@...?Subject=%20Re%3AHigh%20Cholesterol> bluequilter1 <bluequilter1> Mon Jun 21, 2010 6:59 pm (PDT) I got a report on my cholesterol levels this morning. The doctor was not happy and wants me to take a prescription. Since I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) taking a drug is out of the question. The technician that called me told me to go on a diet of mostly grains and beans. I told her that was not possible. Do any of you have any experience with lowering your cholesterol by natural means? What can we O's do to keep it down? Or get it down? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Maureen China Spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I thought I was a type O and followed that diet for 3 years. My Chol went to normal. I found out I was an A and eating red meat works, along with high protein fish.  Jamey B Creel ) > Hi Maureen, > > I have genetic high cholesterol, and you can lower it through diet and > exercise, although most people would rather continue to eat like > they do > and medicate their poor diet with drugs.

I eat a very high meat and egg diet, and it confirms what the new research also shows - namely that red meat does not harm your cholesterol.

That's where exercise comes in. My illness prevents the exercise so i need to use diet for that as well. Mine is 76 which is fine I think on my lamb chop and two or more eggs a day diet:-) But I agree that exercise is great if you can do it. > You have to adopt /your /diet.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 That is what I found raised my cholesterol years back.. I had " metabolic syndrome " I suppose... Insulin Resistance, High Cholesterol etc... when I lowered my refined carbs, and exercised, the insulin resistance backed off and the cholesterol went back to normal. I was eating plenty of different meats at the time.

Eventually it normalizes again. Also if you have low thyroid your cholesterol will be higher. There's nothing you can do that will lower it quickly.
