they do not raise your cholesterol.
high carbs do.
try to encorporate more protein in your diet. like protein powders in smoothies. or body builders shakes with 30 grams of protein. or even atkins shakes. not for weight loss. but to supplement your meals. inbetween.
I am sorry that food is such an issue for you.
I have trouble eating too much. my total cholesterol is 284 but my hdl is 148 so they are not concerned.

Thanks, bizi!
I can eat eggs; I'm just not a huge fan of them. I guess that's why I prefer yogurt and milk, but both are not so great for me. So maybe eggs are the way to go.
And yeah, I should probably do protein shakes. Those are fine. I was actually thinking of using them in place of water during my meals. But I've heard that eating a bunch of meals during the day speeds up your metabolism -- is that truee?
I have a low HDL, unfortunately. That's why my total cholesterol is so bad. I actually think that atorvastatin (Lipitor) is why I have to be on high doses of meds (e.g., 400mg of Lamictal, 20mg of Abilify, etc.). It sucks .
