My cholesterol levels are above 200. My doctor suggested I take Lipicontrol…an over the counter treatment for high cholesterol. I have looked up the pros and cons and I see that the red rice yeast has the same side effects as the prescription statins. I also don’t want to take 6 pills a day of anything and the added coQ10 that is advised. My liver is cringing with the thought of it. (I know many of you will say I should just get on the statins or lipicontrol but I feel I am trading one problem for another.) So I made a deal that I will lose 20 pounds in 3 months and I will exercise (cardio, stretching and weigh training) at least 3 days every week. If my cholesterol levels arent lower in 3 months then I may give the lipicontrol a try. So I need all the encouragement I can get. I did get on the treadmill for 30 minutes this morning so that is a start of getting serious.
