I found out today via blood work results that I have high cholesterol, needless to say I wasn't too happy about it. So I decided I'm gonna start working out again. Any other advice I should know? I haven't worked out in 3 years. What I'm mainly wondering is what I should/shouldn't eat. I already don't eat stuff with a lot of sugar. I do smoke cigarettes, also drink 3-4 times a week so planning to quit the smoking and cut back the drinking. What else is there? I'm 27 years old

Nice, thanks so much for the link. Now off you go kiddo.

High cholesterol here too, user but I don’t drink or smoke (obviously quit that). I keep it in check with 3 day water fasts a week plus eating a ton of meat/veggies and few other carbohydrates. I drink a shit ton of energy drinks (aspartame ones) but also a ton of water. I swear it’s 99% the fasting though. Not that trendy intermittent shit. Full 3+ days of nothing but water.
Take it slow and try whatever you’re willing to commit to but don’t do everything at once.

I'm definitely concerned, but it's annoying because I really don't want to work out again. But the smoking has to stop for sure.

cut down on your cholesterol intake. less meat and eggs. either less per portion, or fewer portions of meats.
more thai/indian cuisine could help too.
especially days before another blood test.

If your doctor says to work out then maybe follow that suggestion. Just saying I eat alright while pounding energy drinks and haven’t worked out in over 10 years beyond walking. Cholesterol still in check though. Water fasts, Yea Forumsro.

Make sure your carbs are either whole grain (oats are best) or vegetables. No junk or bleached food. Add omega-3,6,9 from flax. Watch your weight. Don't need a full workout regimen, I did it with just a couple of miles walking 2-3 times a week.
Worked for me.

I'd like to avoid fasting if I can. I dunno, I guess working out again wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It's just annoying that I'm this much of an unhealthy piece of shit.

Go on a whole food plant based diet. Only animal products contain dietary cholesterol, so cutting out meat and dairy entirely is the fastest way to get your cholesterol normal. Look up forks over knives if you need help getting started.
