                        I am 25 years old, 160lbs. I have genetic hyperlipidimia.  My total choleterol was 207 in January, I have low blood pressure.  I exercise regularly, but I smoke.My father died at 48 and I want to keep that from happening to me. I have my cholesterol checked every 6 mos.  I have been on lipitor, zocor,niaspan.  Liptor yeilded the best results, but had I had an upset stomach and loss of appetite constantly. I was miserable!   I am looking for any suggestions to further lower my cholesterol through diet.  Someone suggested the Atkins Diet but I was unsure?? Please help!  Thanks in advance.
