Tips for lowering Cholesterol

1. Avoid trans fats like the plague. Even if something says that it has '0 grams trans fat', that just means per serving, and they can make serving sizes as big or small as they want. Check the ingredients to see if it contains partially hydrogenated oils, because that means that it contains trans fat. If you are going to use margarine instead of butter, make sure you check the label!

2. When you add eggs to a recipe, take out some of the yolks and use only the egg whites. Egg whites have no saturated fat or cholesterol, where the yolk has lots of both. If you are using three eggs, take one of the yolks out and it won't affect what you are making at all (besides lowering the cholesterol). Sometimes, I'll even take out 1 of every two yolks.

3. Eat foods that help lower LDL's (or bad cholesterol)

4. Boost your HDL's (good cholesterol)
