These steps can help improve your cholesterol.Make these changes in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. Also talk to your doctor

Reduce saturated fats and trans fats in your diet. Choose very soft or liquid margarine, olive and canola oils instead of butter, stick margarine and shortening.
Check labels of crackers, cakes, chips and cookies for partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated fats – if it’s on the label, leave it on the shelf.
Eat fish two or three times a week. Fish, such as salmon, tuna and halibut, contains omega-3 fatty acids, which help improve cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
Eat 10 to 25 grams daily of soluble fiber such as oatmeal, ground flaxseed, avocados, broccoli, apples, peaches and dried prunes.
Use egg substitutes or egg whites instead of whole eggs. For protein, turn to lean meats and skinless poultry, and low-fat dairy products.
Incorporate whole grains (look for 100 percent whole grain on the label), fruits, vegetables and legumes into your daily diet.
Remember that 30 minutes of daily physical activity, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight and quitting smoking are also very effective in reducing your cholesterol levels.

Probably one of two things or a combination of the two. The first being that what you're eating and what you think you're eating may not be the same. An excruciatingly detailed food log or going on the Pritikin diet would show this. The second being that your body maybe unable to manage cholesterol well--it may be unable to utilize cholesterol well and may even be overproducing it (we require a certain amount of cholesterol to function). Zorcor can be an absolute lifesaver (just pay attention & if you have side effects see your doctor immediately--you may need a different med). Thirty minutes of walking every day may also help (start out slow & make sure your health/doctor are okay with that). Walking can also help relieve stress and its effects on your body.
