I had my cholesterol tested at 220 total in the begining. I first tried
soluble fiber to control it. That brought it down to 169. Then I
decided to become a vegatarian to control it more. After a few months
of getting rid of dairy and red meat and poultry my total cholesterol
is now stabalized at 133.
No need for drugs. I let my body do it!

That's great. All that sacrifice just to keep cholesterol down. Did you give
up sex to?

Why would you want to do that? There isn't a single study that has
proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that cholesterol causes heart
disease. Not the Seven Countries Study nor Framingham nor MRFIT,
etc, etc

Hey, you've just given him the secret to lowering his cholesterol to
120!

He wants to starve himself like Karen Carpenter because he is so afraid of
cholesterol. Her heart stopped because her cholesterol was so low she
starved.

Probably by lowering total cholesterol he brought the cholesterol ratios
down as well. And that _does_ count. Congratulations, Nick, that was a wise
thing to do!

I don't feel as if I've given up anything.
And I've lost 65 pounds because of what you call
a sacrafice!!!
Maybe you won't sacrifice your drugs?
In your face...
Don't tell me I can't eat the right way!
You didn't need to give up dairy. Giving up meat alone probably would
have done it.
All this anti-dairy talk drives me nuts.....

Cholesterol below 160 is *BAD*! Or do you think is serves no purpose
in the body?

It's called anorexia nervosa. I am sure you will lose even more pounds. If
you give up solid foods you will even lose more weight and really lower your
cholesterol.
Why don't you try living for awhile.
Wouldn't the body know to make enough?
If it doesn't you have a point.
Stick with your drugs!
I'll continue to eat right. My body can take care of itself!
You don't even know what living right is.
Your plain silly.
Ann I waited to give up dairy. I've done it more than once.
I did find I feel better and consume less calories by drinking
good soymilk for my beverage.
I am not looking for pleasure from food as the health
I get from eating right gives me pleasure. I have well being!
And logeveity I am certain will be another reward.

Try drinking horse [censored], I hear it is even lower in calories than soy
milk Nick.

Yes I can see that your diet certainly gives you no pleasure. Are you
a masochist Nick. Do you want a medal for putting up with the
ultra-boring diet?

Low cholesterol is not conducive to longevity. Low cholesterol is more
likely to make you a candidate for a stroke.

Sad isn't it? Nick is just another fat-phobic head case that needs
help. I wonder if Nick realizes that people die of CHD whether their
cholesterol is high, low or in-between?

Dude, eating vegetarian is *not* eating right. Vegetarianism is a form
of calorie control, which is why I think the majority of vegetarians
are women. Teenage girls take up smoking and/or vegetarianism to
control their weight. Also, vegetarianism is a religion as is
evidenced by the wacky followers we see posting on message board
forums, chat groups and usenet groups such as this one. The healthiest
and longest lived civilizations on this planet were and are *not*
vegetarian. They all have healthy omnivorous diets.
