My liver anzymes are high my cholestrol is 300 and I am looking for the most appropriate diet to follow in ord

Answer 1

you won't be able to take a cholesterol lowering drug, as your liver enzymes are high. You will have to control your cholesterol through your diet. Ask your doctor for an appropriate diet, and start an exercise program, even if it's just walking around the block three times a week. You don't say if you are overweight, but losing some weight will often mean that your cholesterol will drop a bit too. Good luck.

Answer 2

The best way to lower cholesterol is with a well balanced diet and exercise. You might want to check out Dr. Weil's website or log on to www.ediets.com.
Dr. Weil also emails healthy recipes to you each day.
You didn't say how old you were or whether you are overweight.
I would suggest speaking to a registered dietitian before undergoing any "fad" diet as this might turn out to be more dangerous than your current condition. Remember that it is the strain of the clogged arteries on your heart that is the danger. It's not so much the high number, but what it means to the ability of your liver to digest the enzymes properly and the strain you are putting on your heart.
Believe me, once you have had a heart attack, you will never lead the same life again.
Get professional medical help with your condition. No one here on this website is medically qualified, unless they have all your blood work and history available to give you the right advice.
Don't play with your health.
I know, I've seen from experience.
Good luck

Well, if Money is no Object, do what I did. Eat Healthy Choice, Lean Cusine, Lean Gourmet, Lean Pockets, and Healthy Request Frozen Dinners.Also, Campbell's Healthy Request Chicken Noodle Soup ( 20 mg. Cholesterol ) , Progresso Healthy Favorites-Garden Vegetable Soup, ( 0 mg. Chlesterol ) and Uncle Ben's "Ready Rice" in the Orange Package, ( 0 mg. Cholesterol ). That's the only Instant Rice that cooks up in it's own Package, that qualifies as low Cholesterol.My Problem was with My Heart, and I had to go on a Low Sodium Diet. Low Cholesterol seems to go Hand in Hand with low Sodium.Also, Drink lots of Ice Water, Old Orchard Brand Healthy Balance Apple Juice (0 mg), and Arizona Brand Diet Green Tea (0 mg). Nature's own Whole Wheat Bread, ( 0 mg ) and Peanut Butter, Margarine, and Mayonnaise from Smart Balance. There are many Products that Taste OK, { maybe not as good as the Fat, Greasy Foods that are so Good ! } but your Life is literally on the line with that kind of Cholesterol Reading ! What You have to do is to become an Informed Consumer, and Read the Labels closely for Cholesterol Content, and find out what You like ! Low Cholesterol, Low Sodium Food, especially "Instant" Food is a little bit more Expensive. But, like the Hair Color Commercial, Do It ! "Because You're Worth It" !

Answer 4

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little "help", I suggest using natural Hoodia (it's important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says "pure" or "standard").

The Hoodia sold at http://301url.com/free-diet-pills is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It's pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.

Answer 5

Cholesterol is 300, it's alarming.
You must totally change your food habits and go for boiled foods only. Fish, Red Meat and eggs, butter, Oil and spices must be avoided. Go for vegetables, fruits and salads.
Consult doctor for proper medicine also and for proper diet chart.

Answer 6

Swap a bowl of pasta for just a bowl of vegetables. You can save up to 200 calories by cutting the starch and adding produce.

Answer 7

Be a kid again! When eating out, order the child’s sandwich, pizza or pizza. Then you can have the treats you like, while reducing your portions and lowering your calorie intake.

Answer 8

Eating a low-fat vegan diet may be better at managing type 2 diabetes than traditional diets, according to a new study.

Researchers found 43 percent of people with type 2 diabetes who followed a low-fat vegan diet for 22 weeks reduced their need to take medications to manage their disease compared with 26 percent of those who followed the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

In addition, participants who followed the vegan diet experienced greater reductions in cholesterol levels and weight loss than those on the other diet.

A vegan diet is plant-based and consists of vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes and avoids animal products, such as meat and dairy. People who are on a vegan diet are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency, and so B12 vitamins were given to the participants on that diet.

"The diet appears remarkably effective, and all the side effects are good ones -- especially weight loss and lower cholesterol," says researcher Neal D. Barnard, MD, adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University, in a news release. "I hope this study will rekindle interest in using diet changes first, rather than prescription drugs."

Barnard is also president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit health organization that opposes animal research and advocates a vegan diet.


Vegan Vs. ADA Diet For Diabetes

In the study, published in the journal Diabetes Care, researchers compared the effects of following a low-fat vegan diet and the ADA diet on reducing the need for drugs to manage diabetes, kidney function, cholesterol levels, and weight loss in 99 adults with type 2 diabetes. Meals were not provided, but participants met a dietitian to come up with a diet plan and then met regularly each week for nutrition and cooking instruction.

Forty-nine of the participants followed a low-fat vegan diet consisting of about 10 percent of daily calories from fat, 15 percent protein, and 75 percent carbohydrates. They were asked to avoid animal products and added fats and instead favor foods like beans and green vegetables, but portion sizes and total daily calories or food intake were unrestricted.

The other 50 participants followed the dietary guidelines recommended by the ADA, including 15-20 percent protein, 60-70 percent carbohydrates and monosaturated fats (such as olive oil), and less than 7 percent saturated fats (such as animal fats and butter). Total cholesterol was also limited to 200 milligrams or less per day.

Overweight participants in the ADA diet group were also advised to reduce daily calorie intake by 500-1,000 calories per day.

The results showed that both diets improved diabetes management and reduced unhealthy cholesterol levels, but some improvements were greater with the low-fat vegan diet.

For example:


43 percent of those on the vegan diet reduced their need to take drugs to manage their diabetes compared with 26 percent of the ADA diet group.


Weight loss averaged more than 14 pounds in the vegan diet group vs. less than 7 pounds in the other group.


LDL "bad" cholesterol dropped by an average of 21 percent in the vegan group compared with 11 percent in the ADA diet group who did not change their cholesterol drug use.


Measures of blood sugar control also improved more significantly among those who followed the low-fat vegan diet than among those who followed the ADA diet and who did not change their diabetes drug use.

Researchers say the vegan diet represents a major change from current diabetes diets because there are no limits on calories, carbohydrates, and portions, which may make it easier for some people to follow. Talk to your doctor about what diet changes you might consider to help with diabetes or other medical conditions.
