I had a cholesterol check done in April, all my bad numbers were high. I then changed my eaing habits and exercised, and had a new test done and with my efforts, my numbers were lowered. Unfortunately I went back to eating bad and just had a new test done last week and my numbers were 'BAD' again and I have been denied a job in the military due to my high cholesterol. So anyway, my question is,,,,,I have changed my eating habits for the better again and am working out again, so how long after I am back on track do I wait to have my cholesterol checked again? How long does it take 'your blood' to register the improvement?

Hi Macjac,
It's best to give yourself at least 6 weeks before testing again.

How to Lower Cholesterol in 8 Simple Steps

I do not recommend using Slim Quick Diet Pills to accelerate your weight loss. For your overall health and in particular heart health it's best to stick with the tried and true "eat right and exercise". Granted there are steps you can take to see results faster, but supplements/meds are not the route I recommend.
According to the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) it's constantly battling fraudulent and bogus claims in the weight loss industry. Most recently the FDA has targeted 70 different weight loss supplements.
Many weight loss supplements contain "undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients", frequently in levels exceeding FDA recommendations. These ingredients include drugs not approved in the U.S. These substances impact blood pressure and anti-seizure medications, diuretics, along with drugs linked to suicide, depression, and cancer.
All the best,
