Thanks to the others who posted some helpful tips on how to lower cholesterol!
The results are in...I did it! :-)
My hubby and I had our life insurance medical exams (albeit 4 months after my original question, instead of 2 weeks), and we both received great results. YEAH! My cholesterol is no where near the high borderline any longer.
How did I do it?
The old fashioned way: lots of exercise (spinning class 2x/week, pilates and kickbox), high fiber, lots of fruit and veggies (well, "lots" for me), and ate primarily egg whites and lean meat (little/no red meat). It was very easy to do, actually. There were days when I did not feel like exercising, but over the past 4 months, I only had a few weeks when I "rebelled" and did not exercise (and, consequently, my food consumption was not ideal...a double whammy). It's nice to look back over a longer period of time and see the results.
