Peas, beans and porage. The fibre in them absorbs cholesterol and when that fibre leaves the body it takes cholesterol with it. You know if you lose weight you lose all things in your body including cholesterol so by that reasoning 'less' food reduces cholesterol!

Answer 5

Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
