the thing that made the biggest difference for me was adding lots of fiber to my diet. In addition to eating foods high in fiber I added a soluble fiber supplement that I eat with every meal. lowered my LDL cholesterol from 201 to 133 in 3 months. I also lost 45 lbs and added 30 minutes of daily exercise but taking my cholesterol during this time showed that the fiber made the biggest difference.

John -- the fiber is the thing that does it for me too. I don't do hungry well, but I've found since I've gone mostly plant-based, with so much fiber in that WOE naturally, I'm eating fewer calories but not having to battle cravings and hunger.

Fiber is very important. I hate to see people remove things from their diet like outmeal. , The fiber in oatmeal very specifically binds cholesterol to it and it is then removed from the body.

Another great source of that soluble fiber besides oatmeal is chia seeds. I started using it in anything I use flour in. I blend up the chia and add it to bread dough, pie crust dough, or batter like pancakes and Waffles. And blended to a powder it makes a great thickener instead of corn starch or ap flour. (And a great egg replacement if you are on a plant based diet.) Just 2 tablespoons adds between 3 and 5 g of soluble fiber to a recipe. I add a tablespoon of chia to my granola or cooked oatmeal every morning.
