That's what I thought about my 217 cholesterol check result--I just had one in January and though my doctor didn't give me a number, she said things were perfectly fine. Yes, my diet in the past couple of months has been horrid--steak dinners, gourmet burgers, happy hour specials, and fast food. Yes, I have a family history. But geesh. Can I get a break?I went back for a second opinion and got a totally different number--194. That's still higher than I'd like, but it's at least normal.
Along with oatmeal, I'm trying to eat more fish. It's warming up, so I'll be spending much more time on the grill. Grilled fish is one of my faves :)
