Deli meats not the way to go? Damn...just bought all this meat and bread. I'll try the Cheerios and maybe *ick* oatmeal. I'm allergic to nuts so that's a negative.

Thanks.

Meat in general is high in cholesterol. Fish, except for some shell fish like shrimp, is very good. As others have said, stay away from saturated fat and exercise and that should care of the problem.

Glad to hear you're tackling the problem. You'll be better for it in the long run.
