My LDL Cholesterol is 430 and I'm 61 years old. My doctor is mailing
me meds for it. She said to lower my carobs. She didn't say anything
about weight, celeries, fats, etc. So I really don't want to die and
I'm a good candate for a heart attack or a stroke. I got the info
tonight and I'm even afraid to eat. So I guess I should change my
diet big time like eat fresh fruits and veggies for a month and
nothing else. I don't think much of doctors when it comes to things
like this but I do know I can't go to taco bell or eat Sundays
anymore. No bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes. Any advice would be
appreciated.

you will need meds for this high a cholesterol. Also see the American
heart association web site for more information. You might consider
the DASH diet as well.
