Thanks everyone. I tend to stress after seeing my doctor. She puts such an emphasis on cholesterol and it always makes me second guess myself. I have read a lot about it and that's why I would never take the meds prescribed for high cholesterol. I do agree with your advice and plan to dropping my cholesterol worries. Also as mentioned previously I loved the energy and other benefits I got from eating coconut and higher fat. My body was telling me it was the right thing but my mind got side tracked. I will give it another try. Also I will look into the Optimal Diet. It sounds promising.
