A Little Help

I need recipes for a diet that will lower cholesterol. Preferably meals that my whole family will be willing to eat. Recipes for desserts and snacks would be helpful too. Or if any of you are a nutritionist or dietitian, we could use your help. Thanks!

Red Yeast Rice capsules, available at Wal-Mart were suggested by one of the oncologists I work with. I don't know if that's what did the trick or not, but it can't hurt!

They were not as bad as they used to be, but still way to high...so he is on meds. He has to go back in this month to get his levels checked again.

I think there is a book that is "heart smart" or something like that...I've heard that oatmeal does wonders...my hubby won't eat it, but maybe your's will.; August 10, 2009 at 8:32 AM
