  1. I have been prescribed stain to lower cholesterol and am not
    keen on taking any drugs. I am determined to do it by diet.
    Can statins be used as a quick fix if I slip up on my diet
    occasionally.....like taking one after a BBQ or do they have
    to be taken as a complete course.

  2. it may take 2-3 months before you see a significant effect
    on your cholesterol levels after taking a statin
    consistently (on a daily basis). you can't use them as a
    "quick fix."

    diet will likely only lower your LDL by about 10% or so. if
    you're over your LDL goal by more than 10%, you will likely
    need to take medication. enjoy your BBQ 🙂
