I just had a blood test and my cholesterol count was 6.4 which is a tad high. I thought the upper limit was 5 but its apparently 4.
I must admit I had been caning the old saturated fats recently, so fair enough, I've got to cut back.
I'm eating sardines, fish etc and in place of butter I have bought some vile Flora stuff which is supposed to lower your cholesterol. I'm also drinking some yoghurt concotion which claims to do the same.
And yet some brochure I've just read from the British Heart Foundation says improving my diet can reduce cholesterol by 'up to 10 percent.' Surely this is cobblers? I thought cholesterol count was mainly due to your diet?
If that 'up to 10 percent' is right I think I may just go back to enjoying Haagen Dazs!
How else do I get my cholesterol count down?
Any tips gratefully received, and yes, I know some miscreant is going to post a picture of a ginormous fry-up on here.....
Edited to add the doctor didn't want to put me cholesterol reducing drugs.
