Why not just look at your current eating habits and see what you can cut down on that isnt healthy? Thats what i am doing. First i just tried to make sure i didnt overeat at meals. I eat my portion, usually i am still hungry. But then if i get a second portion, i am TOO stuffed. So i adjust for next time, and try to be careful the rest of the day to not eat too much. The point is to feel good and energized after we eat, not to fall asleep cuz we cant move! This takes a while to get the hang of, but every day is an opportunity, and you dont have to cut out any food groups. I can have one "natural" chocolate brownie, but 2 will make me queasy, so instead i maybe have fruit and one brownie.

black-roses, yes great for you working towards good health. Fasting, I would advise being monitored by your doctor, and would recommend focusing on eating less processed or simple carbs. So eat fresh or frozen fruit and veggies, and lean proteins, and small amounts of brown or wheat pasta, or quinoa. Would recommend asking your doctor for referral to see a dietitian. Then you can get ideas for meal planning so you can add small amounts of your favorite foods, and allow one “free” day once per week or “free meal” a few times per week so can fit in favorite foods.

It may help to keep food log and track calorie, and can add calorie counting app to your phone. Unless history eating disorder then not recommended.

Good luck and hope you reach your cholesterol goals.
