@pb50, I don't eat any sugary products like donuts so that wouldn't even tempt me! I agree, the lipid test should be done when fasting.

I cook with a little avocado oil from time to time and never eat fast food. Only cook from scratch. If I have any healthy grains like brown or wild rice, I may add a little homemade ghee or avocado oil, but mostly I'm eating an egg for breakfast, skinless chicken breast, skinless turkey, fish (salmon, cod, mahi mahi, shrimp), lots of greens, vegetables, berries, and green apples. I rarely eat beef or pork, except maybe once every 2 weeks. Periodically, I have a piece of homemade gluten-free toast. I have even stopped drinking alcohol except maybe a glass of bourbon once a week. No wine right now because of the carbs. So I'm at a loss as to why my cholesterol would be high, unless it's genetic. My dad had high cholesterolpb50 avocado oil from time to time and never eat fast food. Only cook from scratch.
