@max_cherry You say, "like your father."
I can assume the doctor acknowledged that your cholesterol cannot be further lowered through diet and exercise? If that is the case, you will end up on a daily pill.
I am on one pill to take care of both my high triglycerides and cholesterol.
When I had my first elevated blood test results, I asked the doctor to give me time to adjust my diet and exercise, as i was not doing at the time. Four months later, the cholesterol went down a little but was still way too high, the triglycerides went up. The doctor recommended starting the pill immediately as diet and exercise was not enough.
Do elaborate.
If you want to exercise, I would recommend T25. It's an easy program and doesn't take much time to squeeze in a schedule. I work all day and take MBA classes at night and squeeze in the workout. You will be soaked by the end of the 25 minutes.
For dieting, you can definitely find articles online tackling that, such as reducing red meat, eat more fish, etc. In addition, meals that you might not have considered before.
