I have lost weight since the last time I had my cholesterol checked at least 25 pounds but still about 15 pounds too heavy. Please help I don't like taking medicine because of all the side effects!

Garlic capsules help. Medicines do have some side effects but it may be a good idea to take it in order to get your chol down and then just maintain a good healthy diet after not taking it anymore.

Natural Cholesterol Guide?

Other than medicine... proper diet and exercise... and I think some natural products like "Garlique" can help... but what is your husband's issue with medicine? My doctor put it to me this way: Would you rather have to take medicine OR have a heart attack? I am taking medicine now to reduce my cholesterol... but I am also starting to exercise and improve my eating habits.

I do not know if you consider a supplement as medicine. If not then you could try Cholest Off from nature made, it works by taking bile from the gut, much in the same was as eating soluble fiber. And along with that or alone, eat 7 grams of soluble fiber daily like in oat cereals, or fiber drinks.

Keep exercising (like swimming, aerobics, etc)! Unfortunately, cholesterol is partly determined by genetics and changing your diet will probably not help much. Hopefully exercising will help you:) Good luck!

Diet and exercise are the only way to control it without medicine.

The Atkins Diet or the Paleo Diet will take it down in a hurry!
