Diet: Your best option is to have a one time visit with a dietician at your local hospital. You'll get an estimation of your ideal weight, appropriate daily calorie intake depending upon your level of physical activity, a critique of your current food intake and instructions on a low cholesterol,low saturated fat diet. A sample diet for you may be given. Your MD is best qualified to follow you medically

Agree with Dr. C: Reduce intake of saturated fats. Exercise more. Lose weight, if you are even slightly overweight. Talk to your doctor about taking statin medication.
