How I did it: I had put on about 24lb and was told my cholesterol was way too high. My surgery put me on statins but they made me ache so I decided to reduce my cholesterol without medication.
I bought a book on the subject and started cutting out saturated fat by reading the food labels. I also drank a bottle of Benecol every day. I didn't diet, because I wasn't trying to lose weight, just change what I was eating. After 3months my cholesterol was almost normal and my weight had dropped by 20lbs.
