My cholesterol was ~235. I cut out sugar (it's in everything) and ramped my fiber consumption WAY up. Beans, hummus, oat meal, etc... every day. I also started taking (at the advice of my Dr) Niacin (2 grams per day the kind that makes you flush not niacinimide, you have to start gradually and work up to that and take it 4-5 times a day with food). After 6 months, I was tested again at 165 with all of my numbers good.
