I eat cheese every day, mostly because it’s cheap and easy to eat with a toast.
Wondering if changing my regular dairy and cheese for low fat versions would be enough.

I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.
I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol
Would love it if you commented in a week to share if there’ve been any changes. Good luck.
My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.
My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.
That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.
Yep, trimming down the alcohol certainly helps as well. Also helps keep the beetus at bay.
