Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g., fish oils, olive oil) have been shown to have a protective effect on cardiovascular health, while unsaturated trans fats and saturated fats have been linked to higher risk of heart disease. In fact, blood low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are more strongly linked to a person’s dietary intake of saturated fats and trans fats than how much cholesterol the person eats (e.g., from eggs). Therefore, it is important for people to watch out for “low cholesterol” or “no cholesterol” products that are high in saturated fats or trans fats because they are still very dangerous to heart health.\n\n\nDietary fat is a concentrated source of calories, providing more than twice the energy found in carbohydrates or proteins. It is important to balance the intake of energy with overall energy expenditure to avoid unintentional or excessive weight gain or weight loss. Consuming more calories than the body needs, whether from fats, carbohydrates or from proteins, will lead to weight gain. Therefore, a low–fat diet that is not combined with overall calorie control or energy balance can also lead to excessive weight gain. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for coronary artery disease and other heart–related problems. \n\nThe Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) develops recommendations for intake levels of certain nutrients for healthy Americans called Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). The IOM panel recommends that total dietary fat intake should consist of 20 to 35 percent of total daily energy (calorie) intake. Specifically, the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) released in May 2001, recommends that 25 to 35 percent of one’s daily calorie intake should come from fat. Saturated fats should be less than 10 percent of total daily calorie intake; polyunsaturated fats should be up to 10 percent of total calorie intake and monounsaturated fats up to 20 percent of total calories. \n\nTrans fats should be limited as much as possible by avoiding foods prepared with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. If you have heart disease or are at high risk for developing it, then saturated fat should be limited to less than 7 percent of total daily calories. In general, the best strategy for reducing one’s trans fat and saturated fat intake is to read food labels and eat a balanced heart–healthy diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Guide Pyramid is a useful tool for monitoring daily food intake. For additional tips, see Tips for Reducing Fat Intake.

Excellent question.\n\nFirst, you are 19.  How do you know what your cholesterol number is?  Was this a fasting reading or a spot check you can pick up at Osco.\n\nSecond, when guys say they work out they usually men weight lifting.  More often it is the aerobic exercise that is most beneficial in reducing total cholesterol since you use more muscles and it also improves the delivery system of oxygen and nutrients called the cardiovascular system.\n\nThird, cholesterol is a building block of other things such as muscle, hormones, enzymes and etc.  Your body makes it anyway.  Simply by not eating animal products (whole milk, meat, eggs and surface fish not bottom dwellers) will help reduce your total cholesterol.  \n\nFourth, genetics plays a big part as well.  What are parents' total cholesterol?  Is there heart disease in your family?  \n\nSometimes diet and exercise just isn't enough and you need to be medicated.  Most importantly, see a medical provider regarding obtaining your total cholesterol.  For an accurate result you need to have nothing to eat or drink for at least 12 hours.\n\nI hope this helps.

All I know about it is that you significantly decrease your serving sizes when eating.  I think people that are on that diet eat mainly nuts, fruits and vegetables. They restrict their caloric intake as well.  Maybe if you went on that diet and continued to gain weight (or maintain) it would be a sign of an under-active thyroid.

Excessive cholestrol leads to blockage of heart vessels leading to strokes.. In case of women, they already have osteoporosis (weakness of bones), overweight body cant be supposted by weak bones..hence leading to frequent fractures.. Over eating red meat leads to cancer, over eating Sweet food leads to diabetes.\n\nFrom a social point of view, obese people are either made fun of or are shunned .. that is until the other person knows the type of person inside all that blubber..

Cholesterol is produced by your body and is also present in foods of animal origin. While we could not survive without cholesterol, levels that are too high may contribute to heart disease.\n \n \nSteps:\n1.  Keep a food diary. Write down what you eat every day for a week. This is an easy method of evaluating what types of foods you are eating and if they are high in fat and cholesterol.\n \n2.  Reduce your intake of foods high is saturated fat, which will raise your blood cholesterol higher than anything else you eat. Saturated fat is found primarily in foods from animals, such as fatty red meat, poultry skin, whole milk, butter and lard. Plant sources of saturated fat include coconut oil and palm oil.\n \n3.  Cut down on your overall intake of fat. That will reduce your saturated fat intake.\n \n4.  Set a goal of having fat make up 30 percent or less of the total day's calories. No more than 8-10 percent should be from saturated fat.\n \n5.  Replace saturated fat, such as butter and lard, with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and canola oil.\n \n6.  Choose foods that are naturally low in fat, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. They are also high in fiber, vitamins and minerals.\n \n7.  Reduce or eliminate your intake of fast foods. Many of them tend to be very high in fat, especially those that are fried and breaded.\n \n8.  Eat less dietary cholesterol. Only animal foods contain dietary cholesterol, so reduce or eliminate animal products. Avoid consuming more than 300mg of cholesterol per day.\n \n9.  Experiment with new ways of eating. Check out different ethnic cuisines, such as Thai and other Asian cuisines, in which the traditional diet is low in fat. Order pizza with low fat mozzarella, minus the pepperoni but topped with fresh veggies.\n \n10.  Buy a vegan/vegetarian cookbook and try having at least two or three meatless dinners a week.\n \n11.  Exercise. Find a sport you like, join a gym, do whatever it takes to get your body moving. Exercise can help lower your blood cholesterol; it can also help with weight loss and keep your heart healthy.

My answer is quite direct. First, make sure that your meals are balanced. Second, increase intake of carbohydrate and protein foods but not fatty foods! The reason is simply because once  carbohydrate and protein foods are consumed into the body, and the body has utilised them, the excess will be converted to fats and are stored in the body. However, if you were to consume fatty foods (since the word fatty suggests 'fats' and you would know that it gives 'fats' to the body), it is unhealthy to consume in excess. High in fatty foods can cause health problems like coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. \n\nSo, I guess, if possible, you might want to consult a dietician for more tips and information. I'm a Food and Nutrition student and am not really an expert in diets, but I do score As for all tests and exams, this is what I don't wish to boast about... haahah....

emm im not nobody im somebody but i hope dis helps... I know its quite long imma im sure ull find it real helpful. GL\n\nEggs have gotten a bad rap from the anti-egg crowd in recent years. I'd be a rich person if I had a nickel every time I heard someone spout anti-egg propaganda that eating eggs raises your serum cholesterol level. This diet shows how you can lose fat and lower your cholesterol at the same time. Actually, cholesterol is a type of fat and with this diet you will lose that kind of fat as well as regular fat.\n\nHOW IT WORKS\n\nThe Egg Diet is a low carbohydrate diet that works by nutritional fasting. Nutritional fasting is where you cease eating certain, but not all, nutrients. In this diet, the only nutrients that we cannot consume are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the fuel for fat cells. By eating unlimited quantities of eggs, steak, cheese, and other foods that are low or void of carbohydrates, we can starve ourselves of fat fuel.\n\nNormally, when you eat carbohydrates, they are reduced to a simple sugar called glucose. In addition to your fat cells, all the other cells in your body also burn glucose. Excess glucose that is not used by the other cells is converted to fat and stored in the fat cells. When you don't eat enough carbohydrates to keep all your normal non-fat cells happy, your body has no choice but to start pulling from its fat reserves and converting the fat back into glucose. The important thing to remember is that this happens even if you have been stuffing yourself full of steak, cheese and eggs. Knowing this, we can lose fat while eating all we want of low carbohydrate foods.\n\nNormally, a person's diet is extremely high in carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and other nutrients. We more or less consume a balanced diet every day consisting of the four basic food groups - meat, milk, bread, and fruits and vegetables. While a balanced meal is a very nutritious meal, it is not acceptable for dieting. It is a long standing joke that pizza is a balanced meal. It contains all four food groups - the crust (bread), pepperoni (meat), cheese (milk), and tomato sauce (vegetable). However, if you were to just eat pizza all the time, your waist would swell up like a water balloon in no time at all. The part of the pizza that makes you fat is the crust. There is no other ingredient that does this.

i beleive when you get to a point where you can't move to get something or do something yourself , or have a very hard time doing it,you are too fat.  My father weighs 600 lbs and he can't even walk any more , but it is not a criminal act , although it is one of the seven deadly sins of the bible known as glutiny, no one else can be held responsible for someone eating their selves to death. cause even if someone else is giving them the food , they pretty much have to feed them til they are full or it won't let them rest at all. p.s  I am a big guy too. but  i am perfectly capable of everything anyone else does with a lot of ease.  i work a factory job and work 12 and 16 hrs a day and can't lose weight for the life of me , i don't consume that much food. some people are naturally heavy , and those are the ones that are the most misunderstood.

It's called bad diet. When u are older and u just eat without thinking this is one of many ways for u to get fat. \n\nTake this for example: My mother showed me a picture of her in her teen years. Wow! She was so slim back then but now her feet are swollen. After seeing this i asked her why this happened. Where there history of cholesterol in the family, or heart disease anything. \n\nHer reply was no it's just that over the years her diet, her movement all changed. She told me that she never watched what she ate or when she ate and how much of it she took. Also she never excised or then any outdoor activity like walking, running, swimming, hiking and such. \n\nHowever, for most people high cholesterol is an issue and is inherited through genes or over doing it with more meat and seafood while less plant foods. \n\nHow this helps.

People need a little bit of fat in their diets, but like with cholesterol, there is good and bad fat.

Balanced diets are different for different ages, sex, activity, etc.\nTeenagers grow fast and need more protein for growth. They probably need more energy foods - especially if they exercise properly.\nHopefully they will be eating foods that also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals (e.g. calcium for bone growth).\nHave a look here:

Part of it could be your bone structure, but not all of it. Many people think they're eating a lot when in reality they're accustomed to getting full at their maintenance level. Many have a high metabolism, but it really is about slowly increasing your calories to the point where your body can't keep up (everyone has that point). Healthy fats (unsaturated) can be great and are dense with calories, try peanut butter, healthy oils, etc... Putting on muscle will look and be much better than adding fat, although muscle burns extra calories, it's benefits outweigh the added minor trouble you'd have about needing more food. Try actually counting your calories, at your weight/height, you're probably in the mid 1000's of calories for maintenance give or take a couple hundred, try eating around 2500, slowly getting there over a couple weeks. See what happens, and if needed, up it to 3000. Lift heavy (learn how first) and eat big and muscle/weight will come, if even after eating 1000 or so more calories than your body takes to maintain your weight doesn't help, possibly see a physician. Good luck!

You have your cholesterol levels under control, but now your doctor says your triglycerides are still high. Triglycerides, like cholesterol, are blood fats. Research suggests that high levels increase risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. And very high levels (see chart) put you at risk for pancreatitis, a life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas.\n\nThe good news is that lifestyle and dietary changes can significantly reduce triglyceride levels in most people. Mayo Clinic experts offer the following tips to help lower your risk of disease:\n\n* Eat fish high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, and herring.\n\n* Cut back on sugary foods, such as cookies and soda.\n\n* Cut back on alcohol.\n\n* Exercise at least 30 minutes nearly every day.\n\nThe test for triglyceride levels should be done when you are fasting and no extra triglycerides from a recent meal are present in the bloodstream. Triglyceride levels after a meal may be 10 times higher than fasting levels.
