A controlled and balanced diet (which you stick to) is a great way to ensure you get the right amount of cholesterol a day. Your diet is extremely important, not only because of cholesterol but for your other levels too. People often mistake the word 'diet' for losing weight, this is not true. If you changed your diet to lose weight or lower your cholesterol, you would still need to stick with a balanced diet to ensure healthy living, even though you should no longer be attempting to lose weight once you have found your ideal figure.
