Yeah that's what my Dr said to me. I have extremely high Cholesterol. I'm really scared because both my mom and dad both died of Heart Attacks. Mom had other Complications as well. My dad was 37 and my mom was 68. So I am at High Risk for Heart Disease. I changed my diet I did a complete 180 so to speak. Well I hope that works I hate to exercise. A gym is not my friend Weights yeah right But now I am doing the exercise bike, walking and eating right. I need to lose about 70 lbs to be at a healthy weight. I say it took me 33 years to put it on, I hope it takes me less to take it off
