Help! What are your best tips to reduce LDL Cholesterol?

I’ve been consuming more meat in the last year, due to going to the gym and seeking higher protein intake. Mostly chicken though, red meat once a week.

i had high LDL a couple years ago and made some changes and got my levels back to normal earlier this year 

basically i cut out red meat almost completely (only ate it on occasion when i went out but never bought it/cooked it at home), reduced my egg intake (was eating a lot of hard boiled eggs back then), and started eating a lot more fish in lieu of meat

yea watch out for butter and things like that too if that’s part of your diet. just try to cut as many foods that contribute to high LDL as you can, but yes it is possible!

Nice, glad to hear it's possible! I think I will cut red meat entirely as well (minus exceptions) and cheese. Don't eat many eggs in the first place, maybe 2 a week in average

i had high LDL in August and went the opposite direction.

i only eat red meat, eggs, butter, and milk. with some kimchi and blueberries for probiotics and fiber respectively. no veggies.

taking my blood at the end of the month (3 months total) to see the impact.
