What are some good foods on a low cholesterol diet?
Like meals, snacks, drinks, etc. I'm already physically active so I got that part down. But are there some certain excercises that I should be doing?

- You should only do "certain" exercises if you have a certain fitness goal or are trying to accommodate an injury or disability. As for meals, snacks, drinks, etc., I'm sorry, but this should be rather obvious to you. If you don't know that fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts/seeds, and whole grains are low-cholesterol and how to cook with those without drowning them in butter and lard, you need to talk to your doctor and request to see a nutritionist.
- for snacking I take coolwhip and add goodies like peanuts, almonds, walnuts that lower cholesterol and then freeze it- and i switched to fat-free cholesterol free smart balance, cream cheese, cottage cheese, etc... and i eat the pop smart cholesterol free single serve popcorn meals- for dinner I eat chicken and I make a 7-10 multi bean chili and add oats that actually work well- oats lower cholesterol and so do so many dry beans. becareful of instant oatmeal tho- all the extras in it can raise bad cholesterol levels drinks- skim milk, and any thing that has no cholesterol in it I even use smart balance other products and drink skim milk etc... my cholesterol went down 16 points in 5 months and I cut down on snaking and am losing about 2/3 lbs a week and for cheese- most fat-free are so ver gross- so try the lower-fat kinds and exercises help lower some fat &cholesterol- but mostly diet lowers cholesterol- exercise helps but you have to diet to do it and it's easy to diet too now days because almost all dairy has fat-free- I buy fat-free/cholesterol free cottage cheese, cream cheese, coolwhip to make a frozen dessert-so yummy), etc...
