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.
