I am so frustrated!!!! Doc Webster just phoned me with the results of my re-take cholesterol test. I have been so careful and worked so hard about not taking in any more than 15mg of saturated fats per day (0 trans fats) for the last two months. I was absolutely sure the levels would have been down.
Dr. Webster says there was no significant change. He also said that the levels are at the point where they need to be treated. I really do not want to go on Lipitor (or like drug). I asked if I could have until after Christmas to get the levels down. He agreed.
Any ideas out there?
I will take the saturated fats down to 10mg and continue to be hyper-vigilant.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
What about light exercise, treadmill, something to burn off any fats. Might help.

Dodi-
ReplyDeleteIt's genetic for all the siblings in my family. My sister is a marathon runner who weighs about 100 lbs at 5 foot 7 inches and eats like a bird, has high cholesterol (just like me and our brother); we all take Lipitor. Exercise and diet just didn't make a difference. Lipitor is like magic - it drops your numbers quickly. Other than the high cost, none of us had any side-effects. Of course, our dad who is 90, does not have high cholesterol and eats dessert at every meal - it's just not fair!
