Yea perhaps chicken grown 150 years ago in the rural part of the country, today chicken are grown in food industry and have most "lethal" fats.
Try sea fish, but find how big is the level of hevy metals in it.

Answer 3

You can eat red meats in moderation...
Just make sure they are leaner cuts - Filet or tenderloin, Eye of round, mock tenders (see your local meat dept. mgr) Veal is a great option. For even healthier red meats you can try Elk or any variety of Venison for that matter. These are incredibly flavorful and offer alot of low-fat (almost NO fat) options for non-vegetarians trying to control their cholesterol. There are many positive things you get from red meats and people with different agendas would have you believe otherwise.

From cornerstonehealth.org:

FOR LOW-CHOLESTEROL
LOW-TRIGLYCERIDE DIETS

MEATS, FISH
Choose lean meats (chicken, turkey, veal, and non-fatty cuts of beef with excess fat trimmed). (One serving = 3 oz. of cooked meat.) Also fresh or frozen fish and canned fish packed in water. Meats and fish should be broiled (pan or oven) or baked on a rack.


EGGS: Egg whites (use freely). Egg yolks (limit three per week).

Cholesterol in the body comes from two sources. Most cholesterol is made by the liver from various nutrients and especially from saturated fats. The liver makes just about all the cholesterol the body will ever need. Since all animals can make their own cholesterol, some cholesterol in the human body comes directly from eating animal products. These foods include meats, egg yolks, organ meats, whole milk and milk products. This cholesterol is absorbed through the intestines and added to what the liver makes. It is also known that a diet high in saturated fat seems to increase cholesterol production in the body. Therefore, reducing dietary cholesterol and fats helps to keep blood cholesterol levels within a healthy range.

Fats in the Diet
Dietary fats can be saturated or unsaturated. An easy way to remember the difference is that saturated fats solidify or remain solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats do not; they are liquid at room temperature. To reduce blood cholesterol levels, it is especially important to limit saturated fats. Saturated fats are found mainly in meats and dairy products made with whole milk.

Unsaturated fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) are found mostly in plants, and are less likely to raise blood cholesterol levels. In fact, there is

evidence that monounsaturated fats (olive, peanut, or canola oils) may even help to lower blood cholesterol. There are a few vegetable fats such as coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter (found in chocolate) that act like saturated fats in the body, so they should be avoided.

The term hydrogenated vegetables oils appears often on food labels. Hydrogenation is a manufacturing process for making vegetable oils solid at room temperature. Therefore, they are saturated even though they are vegetable oils. Hydrogenated oils are frequently used in baked goods, snack foods, and margarine. Remember that all fat in the diet must be reduced, but it is especially important to avoid saturated fats.

Alot of reading, but it isn't necessarily a simple question...I hope this gave you (and others) some good information... :)

All kinds of fish especially Salmon & freah tuna(thwe oils are good. Alcohol has to be stopped. Trust me I went through this once. What saved me was I bicycle a lot. Exercise will lower your cholesterol. Make vegie stir frys w/ tofy, oyster sauce & a little shoyu 7 freasg ginger root & garlic. Garlic cleans out your blood. Dr. Terry Shintani from Hawaii has 3 -4 books out I have his cookbook & I love it. one of My favorites is noodles w/ fish & seaweed (very high in iorn. what women need)Corn & potatoes are good also. Buy his book used at Amazon.com.....Good Luck, & aloha. Use Miso for sauces because it's made from soy beans. Any kind of beans or wheat or cous cous or barley peanuts & sunflower seeds in your chicken really fills you up w/ very low cholesterol. Go to your nearest health food store, they'll have recepies for you.

Answer 5

Personally I don't eat fish I am allergic...

But there are other alternatives....

Turkey, Salads, Natural organic foods....

One thing I remember is if it doesn't grow that way don't put it in your body!

Perhaps Vegetarian plates would suite you from time to time...

Don't let yourself get bored and if you can take some fish oil tablets as a supplement!

Answer 6

Fish! Fish! Fish! Try a sardine salad. Buy the mustard sauce sardines then add it to a salad with tomatoes, potatoes, etc. Sardines are packed with omega 3 fatty acids, one of the most power pack nutrients you could eat.

Answer 7

oily fish, mighty nummy and rich in omega 3 fatty acids which help counteract the effects of ldl cholesterol. try this: take a salmon cutlet, douse it with salt, lemon, tarragon and dijon mustard. microwave it according to the correct settings on your microwave (if yours doesn't have a fish setting, use the curry one). have with spuds and a tossed salad. YUM! :-)

Answer 11

Generally....the simplest criteria to remember is "if it looks like it was alive once, it's ok to eat" Leave it to you to think about that, and hopefully see how much sense it makes. Use that rule and you'll have a pretty healthy diet :-)
