Lipitor (atorvastatin it's generic now)

No fatty meats or organ meats -- cut your total meat intake in half -- pork tenderloin, skinless chicken, or turkey breast is lower in fat and cholesterol.
No eggs -- try egg beaters -- they are not that bad.
Turkey bacon -- no pork bacon.
High fibre foods like beans and legumes will help correct the ratio of HDL and LDL Cholesterol to normal levels.
Eat more fresh fruit and eat walnuts and almonds sparingly.
Fish is a good source of Omega-3 fish oils. The most current research leads one to believe that fish oil supplements are not all that effective -- they won't hurt you and they do have a mild anti blood clotting effect, they ask you to stop taking them 5 days before any surgery for that reason. Fish is a relatively low fat food but Salmon is higher fat. Eat fish 3 times a week for dinner.
Stay away from shrimp, crab and other shellfish -- they are loaded with cholesterol.
Read the food nutritional labels-- they require them there? Buy the better grade lower fat lower cholesterol foods -- they may cost more but if you drop dead of a heart attack you make -0- you're dead. I just got back from the grocery store and couple of hours ago and that's what I was doing: spending 25% more on buying healthy food.


If your high number is over 210 -- total lipid count you should be on meds. You need to be on a statin medicine -- don't listen to the GFY witch doctors -- there is no natural cure, eating low fat will only help.

I have developed arteriosclerosis, that runs in the family, my father died of a complications of it at 43 -- massive coronary heart attack.

I ate a high protein and fat diet, ate eggs and bacon, etc.. After 3 surgeries to remove or compress arterial clots after 3 minor strokes, I know all to well this is not something to fuck with. See a cardiologist, stop smoking, do a complete blood work up at your primary care doctor. I developed PAD, I smoked for 35 years, nicotine hardens your arteries and narrows them aiding in blood clot formation -- smokeless cigarettes are nicotine injection systems -- the result is the same, in my legs and they could only help to some degree with Cryoplasty (liquid nitrogen angioplasty (like angioplasty but not in the heart)).
