Hi Goodson1. I suggest vegetable and fruit salads, lots of fresh or frozen vegetables, using different seasonings in place of butter and cheeses. Then bake, broil, or grill LEAN meats only. You can pan fry as long as you do no use much oil, and then olive oil is one of the best. Chicken and fish are your best choices. But an occasional lean pork loin is ok. I have also limited my intake of eggs and use only skim milk. Plus I read all labels. One other piece of advise. I would not go on any presciptions when I developed high cholestrol and asked my doctor about other alternatives. He suggested stanols and stenals. A natural plant derivative that helps reduce cholestertol. One I found at the drug store is called "Cholest-Off". The other natural item is red yeast rice. I have taken both for over a year and my cholesterol is now back in acceptable range. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST. But I hope this helps.
