Weight Loss and Cholesterol?
I have very very high cholesterol, and had lost 23 pounds. It brought
cholesterol down a bit. Then I gained 7 pounds back, and now my cholesterol is way up again. Can 7 pounds make a difference in cholesterol. I'm on Lipidil for about 5 months, but it hasn't brought it down enough. Has anyone have any experience in this area? Much appreciated. J. |

What is the total amount of weight that you *need* to lose? Before losing weight my total cholesterol was 246. I had been taking Lovastatin, but it wasn't reducing my cholersterol enough. After losing nearly 70 lbs. (and still taking Enalapril), my total cholesterol is 131. I should say, however, that it's not a matter of simply staying within your Points or on the program. Controlling cholesterol is directly dependent on reducing total fat and, in particular, saturated fats and trans-fats. Theoretically, you could consume all your allowed Points in fatty foods and still lose weight, but even raise your cholesterol. Sensible food choices are important, no matter how much you do or do not eat. -- Wayne Boatwright __________________________________________________ Useless Invention: Solar powered night light. |

Weight Loss and Cholesterol?
Thanks for your reply. Of course I'm aware of the points not being fat,
and I pretty well stay away from all fats other than what's in chicken or beef. I'm glad to hear that your cholesterol went down by losing so much weight. That gives me some hope. I need to lose about 30 to get to goal. Now if I only could translate your American measurements into Canadian ones as we count in ml I think. Do you know your ratio? Have you taken No-flush Niacin? Or know anything about it? Thanks again. Wayne Boatwright wrote: Oh pshaw, on Thu 23 Nov 2006 01:40:36p, serveandlob meant to say... I have very very high cholesterol, and had lost 23 pounds.

Weight Loss and Cholesterol?
I can tell you that when my weight is down so are my Lipids and LDL,
when my weight is up my counts go up as well. As little as 10% will make a siginicate change in your numbers. So it really doesn't matter which measurement system you use, its the percentage of weight loss as well as your food choices that will make a difference.

You need healthy fats, as they help build up the good cholesterol..beef and
chicken fats aren't part of the good fats (which doesn't mean you shouldn't eat meat of chicken, just that you should trim the fat) Olive, canola safflawer, sunflower flaxseed oils are the ones to go for!

no personal experience, but weight could play a factor, but I wonder if it
is the food you ate while gaining that made the difference, welcome and good luck, Lee serveandlob wrote in message oups.com... I have very very high cholesterol, and had lost 23 pounds.
