High Cholesterol

[Speedbag]

Fish Oil is the obvious first choice as I believe it is medically proven to work.

I give it to my Doberman as a treat. She gets about 4-6 a day. She has the shiniest coat because of it. Helps keep her skin moist.

Yeah, my coat is pretty shiny too. Where it isn't thin, that is. 

I'm stocking up on oatmeal and more fish pills tomorrow. Then it's time for more exercise in the frozen tundra.

Of course, the fact that I had the screen the day before New Year probably didn't help. The plethora of sporadic holiday goodness from Thanksgiving thru the weekend before the test had to have some effect.....

My cholesterol numbers were way off the charts in October.  BP was high as well.  I eat oatmeal every day for b-fast before (and still), eat a healthy lunch but don't eat so healthy for dinner (also drink and smoke).  30 days of 45 minutes of cardio, meds and slight diet adjustments I had lost 10 pounds and my BP was normal and cholesterol numbers were on the high side of normal. 

I'm going to keep at the exercise and meds (trilipix) for 3 more months.  If things are good, I'm off the meds.  Still need to loose 20-30 pounds.

Trilipix is pretty good.  No real side effects except for tremendous quantities of gas......
