Then your diet and exercise program do not exist. After 15 years on zocor I stopped taking it because of some muscle pain. So, no more excuses. I started a real low fat diet. No red meat, no white flour, no soda and few if any empty carbs. Lots of fish, chicken and fresh veggies and fruit. Got off my butt and slowly started to work out. Ran a mile and a half yesterday and then walked another mile. Two months ago I got out of breath going up the stairs. After a month or two I noticed I had lost 5 pounds. I did none of the above to lose weight. Now it's up to 20 pounds. I don't count calories, only look at fat. I eat all of the time and never hungry. Carrots, apples and herring are my between meal snacks. It's been 3 months so I have to wait another 3 to get my blood work done. In the mean time my blood pressure, I take at home, has dropped from 150/90 to 122/72. I'm 60, 6 ft 4 and went from 250 to 230 and feel the best I have in 15 years.Have a way to go, but on my way and hope this might help others.Taking away the meds is what did it for me.

Oatmeal on a daily basis can reduce cholesterol, I forget what percentage it can be lowered by.
Cheerios does the same thing, ya just have to eat about four servings! hehe!
