I just finished up the low carb diet, several months. I lost a bunch of weight. I feel good. I now only eat gluten when it involves beer. I’m going in to my doc’s office today and he wants me on statins. I tried that before and had my chest get tight and my pulse race. My cholesterol is not perfect but my blood pressure is way down.

If you start taking statins, check info on OTC CoQ10. I have seen as much as 400mg recommended for those taking statins. I take 200mg CoQ10 and 20mg statin daily.

Taking fish oil made my cholesterol level drop significantly. It was the only thing I changed and it wasn’t even to change my levels. It was a general health choice and the dropping levels were a surprise. If I took it twice a day (or even every day consistently) my numbers would go down even more I bet.
