muscle and liver problems are the 2 side effects we are mostly concerned with. But a lot of people take this medicine, so only some of them will have issues.

 

as usual, it's not as scary as the internet makes it up to be, but there are always side effects with any medication.

 

Of course if u can improve with your diet and lifestyle change, that is 100% the bestest.

 

 

Yes thru diet will be ideal. I read the other thread on IF. So if IF is effective in cutting weight/lowering fats, so it shd be effective in controlling cholesterol too?

i don't think we promise anything, but definitely u will see some improvement in your fasting sugar and triglycerides.

How much improvement in your cholesterol is still up for debate. 

 

Watch the youtube videos, read up online then decide if u want to try!

 

I myself will be doing a blood test soon to see my lipid levels.

I really made an effort to cut fats out of my diet.

And at the same time increased my exercise to 5 X one hour or more high intensity cross trainer a week and a further hour a day walking.

 

Made no diff to my cholesterol levels at all.

Then doctor agreed to tablets.

cholesterol is kinda genetic i think, my cousin a sportman who is lean and fit but cholesterol is constantly high since young age.

[Ysc3]

Can't help you on price, but I stop popping cholesterol pills.

I'm 52 and yes, they like to prescribe cholesterol pills.

Makes money for the clinics and hospitals.

 

I stopped taking all the cholesterol pills about a year ago ... or about 2 months after I started taking them.

 

always stomachache after I take the pills ... DR change a few type but still cannot solve the problem so I just told the DR I don't want the meds anymore ...

 

now the pills still in my cupboard !!

If your cholesterol is not due to genetic, the you can stop taking medicine and rely on diet and exercise.

I read somewhere that cholesterol is controlled by diet while blood trig can be reduced thru exercise..

my simple diet  : white rice with hot water, fried and mid-fatty meats. no vege, occasionally an egg.

 

my exercise regime : walk from flat to carpark, then from carpark to office and then return.

Can we buy cholesterol medicine from polyclinic pharmacy off the counter?

 

No, it's controlled. Only can be prescribed by doctor.

Generally, it's just various forms of statins.

I took simvastatin previously, but my other doctor prescribed atorvastatin.

However, statin is thought to destroy CoQ10, so I took them to compensate.

 

I also take medicine for diabetes and high blood pressure.

 

Although there are always negative against these medicine, but I thought I'll continue them for a while.

yo !! you my friend !!

 

same here ... except I am taking one more optional lozac for my gastric pain ...

 

I am using sitagliptin for diabetes and amoldophine for HBP. (pls don't check the spelling)

 

the last cholesterol med prescribed to me was atorvastatin .... got 3 or 4 boxes in my cupboard.

lol not really. Like i said it's complicated. You can never ever use one liners or even one paragraphs to understand lipid metabolism.

 

In general for lipid metabolism, diet - genes - exercise/physical activity. Diet and genes are equally as important.

FYI flaxseed is not suitable for those with underactive thyroid. Makes the problem worse.

is the term underactive = normal thyroid?

 

My wife got thyroid but its sort of burn up rate is high.

Eat oat is got trick one: one oat dinner a day:

1) steel cut oats - most raw, most fiber

2) cook the oats with water only. No milk no sugar no nothing

3) cook lots of oats. Eat until you cannot eat anymore. - so you won’t open up the fridge to makan cookie chips ice cream

4) $3 cai from cai png store - taste distractor (because oat is tasteless

5) tv - distract the mind

6) drink lots of plain water together with the meal. Don’t chut simi coke simi Pepsi ah

7) abit of dark chocolate 70% to get rid of oat taste
