Diet and exercised used to be recommended as first line treatment for high cholesterol. The problem is that it may take a while for this intervention to work. Meanwhile, while you are waiting you health is at risk.
I am a pharmacist but I feel that the best move is to start statins immediately as well as diet and exercise. Once your cholesterol is under control you can go back off of the medications and see is you can maintain the lower cholesterol levels.
