Well, I'm joining the club here. Just got my results from various tests the other day, and my Cholesterol had gone up...to 7,3. A few years ago, my doctor said it was a bit too high too, but then it was 6,8. I got it down within a few months though.

OK, I'll admit I have been indulging a bit lately, but I have to stop now! The hardest part is the cigarettes. I have only been smoking up to six a day, for the past two days, so I feel good about that.

I bought carrotts and other veggies and fruit - oh and avocado! That is supposed to actually lower your Cholesterol. A good thing I love avocado.

This morning, I had porridge for breakfast. For lunch, I have a few slices of organic ryebread, but I must find more new things to put on! Macherel seems to be on the list of things I can have - and I'm thinking hummus spread will probably be OK. Gotta cut down on cheese though.

I like basmati rice when I don't have potatoes or pasta with my meat, I guess that is OK. Corn, spinach and broccoli are also things I like to go with it - is that OK?

I am thinking dried abricots, fresh strawberries and almost any fruits are good.

Found a site here that seems to be very informative, so I'll have a closer look myself.

Thanks for the info you provided, Catty1!

Oh, in case you don't know.... stay clear of shrimps, they're the worst if your Cholesterol level is up. And cats should not have too many either, according to my vet.
