1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

1. Do exercise (just walkings and don't get exhausted). Always talk about this to your doctor or get a physical trainer. Exercise can raise the HDL (good cholesterol that cleans up you blood from bad cholesterol).\n2. Eat fish 2-3 times a week (salmon, tuna, macarella, fishes from cold water). They have omega 3, that helps to reduce cholesterol.\n3. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies (because of the fiber), and also grain cereals (like oat,oatmeal, grain flour). Fiber sticks to cholesterol so your intestine wouldn't be able to absorb it.\n4. Try eating pomello (grapefruit), it gots a substance that will keep vytorin (simvastatin) in your blood stream working more time.\n5. Cut off fat from beef or pork. Reduce the meat you eat and try poultry and fish. Reduce shortening and butter, lard, bacon.\n6. Try low fat milk.\n7. Cook with olive oil (high in monounsaturated fat), canola oil, safflawer oil.

Walking and taking an exercise regime is most important in lowering Cholestrol level. Anxiety/stress reduction is another aspect which should be looked to lower one's cholestrol level. The followings is recommendation on food items:\n\n\nCholesterol Lowering Foods \n \nCholesterol lowering foods - this may sound as an oxymoron! However, studies prove that some foods can assist in the reduction of cholesterol and could be incorporated into your new diet plan.\n\nCholesterol Lowering Margarine\n\nRecently, cholesterol lowering margarines have been introduced to the market. Benecol® is one of the products that has been confirmed to lower cholesterol on an average of 10% if used as recommended. In addition, this margarine does not affect your HDL, or "good" cholesterol. Other products include Take Control® margarine and salad dressings that are made from plant sterols, which are extracted from soybeans. These sterols trick your intestine into thinking they are cholesterol and when it tries to absorb them, it is not able to, therefore blocking cholesterol.\n\nSoy Protein\n\nCholesterol lowering quality of soy protein was evidenced when FDA approved (see FDA talk paper) the health claim for its effects on risk of heart disease. To achieve intended result, you have to consume at least four servings of 6.25 grams of soy protein totaling daily intake to 25 grams per day. Many food manufacturers have since introduced soy beverages and energy bars containing up to 10 to 20 grams of soy protein. People with high cholesterol - levels of 260-300, soy protein has shown to reduce cholesterol by 15-25%.\n\nNuts\n\nNuts such as almonds and walnuts that have high amount of monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, also help lowering cholesterol. Researchers at the Loma Linda University found that a diet containing pecans (click here for Abstract) not only lowered total and LDL--or "bad" cholesterol significantly but also helped to maintain desirable levels of HDL--or "good"--cholesterol. Another study conducted by the same University found that Mediterranean style diet that included walnuts (click here for Abstract) lowered cholesterol.\n\nOats and Barley\n\nIn lowering cholesterol, oats and barley have played a critical role. These foods have a soluble fiber known as Beta Glucan, which is the key, in how they lower the cholesterol. To gain the intended cholesterol lowering effect, you have to consume anywhere between two and four cups of dry oat or barley cereal each day.\n\nFruits and Vegetables\n\nFruits and vegetables such as apples, citrus fruit, berries, carrots, apricots, cabbage, sweet potatoes are high in soluble fiber and pectin both shown to be helpful in lowering cholesterol. At least five servings a day is recommended to benefit the full effect.\n\nFlaxseed\n\nFlaxseed provides alpha-linolenic acid a poly-unsaturated fat which has been shown to lower cholesterol while providing needed soluble fiber.\n\nOlive Oil\n\nOlive oil is one of the mono-saturated fats and studies have shown that it lowers blood cholesterol. Extra virgin olive oil is suggested to be better than other varieties.\n\nFish\n\nAccording to researchers, fish containing a omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids make the blood more slippery and less likely to clot in addition to lowering blood cholesterol.\n\nCautions:\n\nInstead of frying foods, bake, roast, or grill. Cut back on egg yolks and if you drink 2% milk change to 1% and if possible, skim milk.

helpful foods...go to local food store, look for flaxseed (Hodgson Mills) that is ground. 1 tablespoon in cereal, yogurt etc.. per day.  REFRIGERATE after opening. Terrific as a cholesterol lowering, terrific for skin and is also an excellent laxative.  Garlic is also good.

oatmeal is good for helping to get rid of the bad cholesterol ( I believe its the LDL), and eating foods like fish will help raise your good cholesterol (I think it's HDL), which will lower your total overall cholesterol.

I hope you mean just the menu for free.  I'd search the internet.  The one I recommend is the Mediterranean diet because it is the most well balanced.  Also it it's the best for your heart and figure.
