Use coconut oil as part of the oil for your mayo. Eat non-farmed fatty fish like salmon.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks Amelia! I was eating some chicken soup, and got right up and put butter in it! I must say it makes it even better. I am not a big eater, so it's hard to think about eating eggs and yogurt for breakfast. Seems like a lot! But I'll figure out how.

Add good quality grass-fed cow butter to everything you can think of -- including soups and smoothies (unsalted, it makes them really creamy). Avocados and coconut oil are very good too. I add coconut oil to my tea and coffee (and smoothies) (in addition to coconut milk). In fact, a lot of times I use just coconut milk (no additional water) to make the tea (in a pan with loose leaves). > > Oh, and for that extra crunch, fried pork skins! ; ) > > Amelia > > > > > > ________________________________ > > To: BTVC-SCD > Sent: Thu, May 6, 2010 2:46:45 PM > Subject: Low cholesterol > > > Hello all.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Does anyone know how I can get my numbers up?Hm, I don't know, but Mark's Daily Apple has a lot of good fat/cholesterol info on it. Maybe something to check out?
