I am not a doctor. I have researched this subject a lot, but I make no claims here. I can only tell you what my situation is. During previous posts, I've described my dismay at being diagnosed with severe artery disease, after a "clean" life. Further research indicated that my "heart-healthy" diet may not be so after all. Without going into all the details (previously posted), I am on a modified Mediterranean diet, and I take various supplements, including krill oil. I find it hard to believe that krill oil caused your cholesterol increase, but you may be one of the "lucky" ones (as I was with artery disease). I would tend to believe your diet may not be so healthy after all. I suggest you do more reading at Dr Sinatra's website, as well as at the "doctors wolfson" website. You will get tons of info and testimonials about healthy heart diets and supplements. And both websites will lead you to various books on the subject, which I recommend reading. Basically, reduce/eliminate inflammation, absolutely eliminate all sugar including added fructose & corn syrups, avoid all processed baked goods (pastries, etc), and stop the hi-glycemic index carbs (there is a website defining this by food, as well as getting an understanding from the books I mentioned previously (another post). Good luck.

Ty so much ,,I am a sweet crazy lady ,,I guess I can give this up ,,I thank u so much for taking time to respond ,,,I hate taking meds for this but I have to get this chlostrol down ,going to try with food first

Could u tell me briefly the best things to eat ,

Well, I understand. And I'm sympathetic. But once you get the habit, and you know how it helps, you'll be addicted. For example, you can do fruit for sweets--berries in particular (blue-, straw-, etc). They have sugar of course, but it's natural, and they don't have as much as other fruits. And they're loaded with anti-oxidants. And I take a bite of at least 65% cocoa dark chocolate. It is bitter for some, but it's easy to get used to. The higher the percentage, the better (tho bitterness will increase). You can find it at Trader Joe's. And then there's raw, natural honey--in small quantities, because it goes a long way. I make do with those, and I seldom have any other sweets cravings.

I used to eat lots of fruits every day, and a good amount of veggies. But now it's mostly veggies, with some fruit (as mentioned above). The vegetables are the best carbs you can eat, and the fruits have sugar so it's best to keep the veg/fruit ratio 4 or 5 to 1 (rather than the other way around). I have a jumbo salad everyday for lunch, with all kinds of fresh, organic vegetables, with some chicken or fish, and so I get my nutrients, with beneficial carbs, and it's very filling. The list of good veggies is too long to mention, but you may want to buy The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, by Jonny Bowden. It gives you all you want to know about vegetables, grains, beans & legumes, fruits, nuts/seeds, dairy, meat/poultry/eggs, fish/seafood, specialty foods, beverages, herbs/spices, and oils. You'll wonder how you ever made it before, and you'll undoubtedly be angry at how little of this info is taught. This book is one of many excellent publications on the subject.

I can also recommend Nourishing Traditions, which is loaded with recipes, and it has a 50 page intro which gives you fantastic info regarding what's wrong with the diets we've been told to eat for 50-60 years. Another eye-opener.

Best of luck. Happy eating.

Switching to 5-1 veggies - fruit, was hard for me because I enjoy fruit so much, however, I have always liked the flavors of veggies so it wasn't extreme. But no matter what I try - bitter chocolate is not my thing and so once in a great while - I will crave and eat a piece (or two) of chocolate, but then it is over and done with for a few months! Way back, it was every day.
Thank you so much for all the book recommendations.

Ty ,such good info ,,,I need all I can get
