I have a suggestion regarding lower cholesterol - whole grain breads.
Though my cholesterol was only just over 200, I took up trying to eat a
diet with more whole grains such as brown rice more often instead of white
rice but continuing to eat the same foods. My cholesterol lowered. I find
that it is more difficult to bake whole grain breads but they are still
great and provide more fiber which should help lower your cholesterol if
eaten often. I suggest "The Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book" by Laurel
Robertson, Carol Flinders and Bronwen Godfrey published by Random
House. This book only contains breads make with 100% whole grains. The
book is well researched and there is a huge variety of recipes. Eating
whole grains does not eliminated carbohydrates, but eating an increasing
amount of whole grains can help to lower your cholesterol.
