In your article regarding "fad" dieting. Low Carb was a "fad" in the 1970s and Low Fat was a "fad" in the 1990s. More recently the "fad" diet (doctors are approving/suggesting) is the low carb leaning toward the Mediterrainian style.
Isn't every diet known a "fad" for a season?
I was given a low fat (supposed cholesterol cure diet by my doctor my total cholesterol started at 309 and went to 310 twelve weeks later even though I lost 14 pounds on that program.
I put myself on a traditional low carb regimine and total cholesterol went down 30 points and HDL went up. Weight loss continued at about the same rate as the low fat plan with more desirable numbers in cholesterol, triglycerides liver function and overall sugar which was also elevated.
Shouldn't an individual be more concerned with their test results than which diet is in fashion?
Therefore, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains should be a major part of any low cholesterol diet. Breads, cereals, pasta and rice are also low in cholesterol, as long as they are not prepared by using high-cholesterol eggs, butter, or milk.

Cholesterol low is certainly no easy feat. It takes a delicate balance of diet and exercise. However, it is important to one’s overall health to keep cholesterol levels in check and to be sure to address any abnormalities as soon as they arise. Contrary to popular belief, lowering cholesterol diets do not necessarily mean avoiding unhealthy foods or those that are high in cholesterol.
