What's this?

Red meat will do a number on your LDL.

Mine was close to 150 in January but I have lost 20 lbs since then, cut back on red meat and essentially eliminated fast food, chips, etc so I am anxious to see how much I can bring it down before my next physical. I also take fish oil and Niacin supplements that are supposed to help with cholesterol. Good luck!
