How can I lower cholesterol with a diet?​

Heart-healthy lifestyle changes include a diet to lower your cholesterol. The You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. is one example. Another is the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes diet, which recommends that you
Choose healthier fats. You should limit both total fat and saturated fat. No more than 25 to 35% of your daily calories should come from You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., and less than 7% of your daily calories should come from saturated fat. Depending upon how many calories you eat per day, here are the maximum amounts of fats that you should eat:

Calories per Day	Total Fat	Saturated Fat
1,500	42-58 grams	10 grams
2,000	56-78 grams	13 grams
2,500	69-97 grams	17 grams

Saturated fat is a bad fat because it raises your LDL (bad cholesterol) level more than anything else in your diet. It is found in some meats, dairy products, chocolate, baked goods, and deep-fried and processed foods.
Trans fat is another bad fat; it can raise your LDL and lower you HDL (good cholesterol). Trans fat is mostly in foods made with hydrogenated oils and fats, such as stick margarine, cr@ck3rs, and french fries.
Instead of these bad fats, try healthier fats, such as lean meat, nuts, and unsaturated oils like canola, olive, and safflower oils.
Limit foods with cholesterol. If you are trying to lower your cholesterol, you should have less than 200 mg a day of cholesterol. Cholesterol is in foods of animal origin, such as liver and other organ meats, egg yolks, shrimp, and whole milk dairy products.
Eat plenty of soluble fiber. Foods high in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. help prevent your digestive tract from absorbing cholesterol. These foods include:

• Whole-grain cereals such as oatmeal and oat bran
• Fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, pears, and prunes
• Legumes such as kidney beans, lentils, chick peas, black-eyed peas, and lima beans

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can increase important cholesterol-lowering compounds in your diet. These compounds, called plant stanols or sterols, work like soluble fiber.
Eat fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. These acids won't lower your LDL level, but they may help raise your HDL level. They may also protect your heart from blood clots and inflammation and reduce your risk of a heart attack. Fish that are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna (canned or fresh), and mackerel. Try to eat these fish two times a week.
Limit salt. You should try to limit the amount of You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. (salt) that you eat to no more than 2,300 milligrams (about 1 teaspoon of salt) a day. That includes all the sodium you eat, whether it was added in cooking or at the table, or already present in food products. Limiting salt won't lower your cholesterol, but it can lower your risk of heart disease by helping to You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.. You can reduce your sodium by instead choosing low-salt and "no added salt" foods and seasonings at the table or while cooking.
Limit alc0h0l. Alc0h0l adds extra calories, which can lead to weight gain. Being overweight can raise your LDL level and lower your HDL level. Too much Alc0h0l can also increase your risk of heart disease because it can raise your blood pressure and You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

• Men should have no more than two drinks containing Alc0h0l a day
• Women should have no more than one drink containing Alc0h0l a day

Easy, start cutting the carbs down and starting eating more vegetables and fish. Exercise atleast 30 minutes a day, simple walking will do! Do this for 3 months straight then get a lipid panel, to see if the diet works for you
