it goes against everything that the synchronized idiots in the media are telling you. but it works for me and a lot of other people.
completely cut out rice, bread, cereals, pasta, fruit, soda, crackers, candy. eat more meat, cheese, salads etc.
i know it sounds quite mad - but, in a way, you have been brainwashed to some degree. whie you are at it dump "skim" anything and "low fat" everything else...

Same here, but I maintain 75-100g of carbs a day. I eat fruit, veggie, and dairy carbs only.
Cholesterol is actually vital to health. Ignore that number unless it is very high. LDLs are now that main target, but even that is wrong, it's a blend of 6 to 8 different LDLs. The fact that they don't know how many there are should tell you something about this science
It's VLDLs that are the bad guys. They don't usually test for them though. But they are directly associated with tryglycerides. Get your trigs down to 80 or less. Do this by cutting back carbs and upping fat and protein.
It is crazy if you subscribe to AHA recommendations, but the science points to it as teh best medicine.
