4) fiber pills
5) stop eatting red meat and chicken
but like they said gfy is not the best place to get medical advice. I am not a doctor. I know myself I started fiber pills, 5 hours cardio week and no chicken and red meat lowered mine to 200. Technically I could probably get a statin still.

I've started a fiber and omega-3 supplement after refusing the take any more of the prescribed medications. I'm also trying to walk at least 10 minutes per day. I only eat one meal a day but when I do I try to include more vegetables. Whole milk used to be my main drink but I've switched to nonfat milk and trying to drink more plain water.
My doctor actually wants me to eat more chicken, I fucking hate chicken. I usually eat seafood but I'm told it has too much sodium.

Thank you, I've seen a lot of positive articles about the supplement. I'm leaning toward adding this to my supplements along with Niacin.

I totally agree with this. I think we're all programmed to trust doctors but after seeing what the statin has done to my liver and blood sugar I did some research on it. I've read a lot of negative articles about it and a lot of doctors totally against prescribing it unless you're age 50-75 with prior heart conditions, but not for lowering cholesterol.
