Jan here are some other foods that are good for curbing cholesterol, from Dr Phil's "The Ultimate Weight Solution Food Guide", a great book that lists a food's serving size, calories, protein, carbs, fat/saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, sugars, and sodium.

Page 137 also has "Top 30 Foods for Curbing Cholesterol" and I'll include some that aren't vegetables or fruits in this partial list:

Legumes such as:

Kidney beans

Cranberry beans

Butter beans

Black beans

Navy beans

Lentils

Pinto beans

Great Northern beans

Garbanzo beans

Soy-based foods

and

Oat bran

Oatmeal

Bran flakes

All-Bran

Pearl Barley

if you eat potatoes,

Sweet potato

Acorn Squash

Potato with skin

I hope this helps and I hope your new med does too.
