Hi doctor,I am a 5.10 feet and 203 lbs male. I have been a binge drinker, drinking about 24 to 32 beers a week, and now have quit drinking from three weeks. My cholesterol was at 248. I have now been exercising 30 to 40 minutes on a treadmill, quit alcohol, quit bad fats, I eat oatmeal every day and eat fruits, vegetables, etc., almost extensively. I am also taking 1200 mg of fish oil daily. My doctor wanted to start me on Statins, but I refused. I wanted to see what my reports looks like in six months. I have heard bad things about that medication, and I honestly believe all my lifestyle changes will help. Is this going to be enough, to get my cholesterol back to normal?
