I have totally changed my diet to include more fruits, veggies, and less meat. I still love the great steak that only our bovine friends can give us - but not nearly as often. I have also been a regular at my local fitness club. An hour of pain several days a week is a little price to pay for an over-all healthier body. I have also started taking multi-vitamins again (ones especially formulated for cholesterol). Too bad they don't make them chewable like the ones for kids!
