Topics:LDL (bad) Cholesterol

All of my readings are in the approved numbers...for example total cholesterol is 180....Triglycerides 92...HDL 51......but the LDL is too high 111.....I am a Weight Watcher...limit fats...eat healthy...exercise hard two days a week at the gym under supervision. What can I do to zero in on the LDL?

I also recommend discussing a comprehensive lipid panel with your physician to learn your LDL particle sizes to better determine treatment needs.

All the best,
