Ladies, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
I lost 15 more pounds since doc visit a year ago.

And after my shocker I did some research and made a few changes. My doc didn't push me to be on drugs. I'm not a meat eater, I eat it but not every day. Maybe 2-3 times a week, not really a red meat eater either.

Hubby likes to fish, so we eat fish 1-2 times a week. I have lowered the amount of dairy I eat to almost none. I never was a chips/French fry kinda person. I went back to my spinach salads and have loaded them up with lots of other cut veggies or eat some kind of veggie soup for lunch.

My gyno suggested that due to my age and changing system, which is 1-2 periods a year, that there were multiple studies about cholesterol and menopause and this could explain the rise in cholesterol.

What it means? Well I gotta go back and get re-tested after my year of living with the changed diet, and I'll probably always have to watch and avoid high cholesterol foods.
