Keep in mind consuming cholesterol only raises your blood cholesterol levels slightly, it's more complicated having to do with the mix of fats/carbohydrates in your diet, check the saturated/trans fat levels of what you eat, I still eat eggs occasionally which are loaded with cholesterol.

True! My cardio has told me no eggs. I trust her so I follow her advice. I avoid saturated fats, don't eat trans fats which means excluding all items from the bakery. Pretty much live on meatless meals, beans and lentils, fish and chicken. And these dietary changes have helped me keep my weight in check.

There are doctors out there who say that what you eat has nothing to do with cholesterol. I’ve read the initial tests for cholesterol were done on rabbits and have nothing to do with humans. This is from a credible source (a heart doctor) but look it up yourself.
