Any good recipes for a person with high cholesterol?
My hubby just recently found out he has high cholesterol. He does NOT like fish, at all… period. He will not eat fish, he will just throw up. What else can he eat? Any good recipes?
this is recipe I like.
Stuffed Pork Loin
3 ounces fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped dried tart cherries
3/4 cup cooked wild rice
3/4 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
1/3 cup chopped pecans
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 3 1/2-pound boneless pork center loin roast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried sage, ground
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, ground
1/2 cup apricot jam
3 tablespoons water
In a large skillet, cook spinach in hot oil until wilted. In a medium bowl combine cooked spinach, dried cherries, wild rice, 3/4 teaspoon sage, pecans, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
Preheat oven to 325��F. Trim excess fat from pork. To pinwheel the pork loin, start cutting lengthwise 1/2 inch under the fat cap on the roast. As you cut the roast, gently rotate the roast at the same time. This will allow the roast to "unroll" as you cut it. When the roast is completely cut, it should be a rectangular piece of meat between 1/2 and 1 inch thick.
Sprinkle cut surface of meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon sage, and the thyme. Spread spinach mixture over cut side. Roll up the loin tightly to resemble the initial roast. Tie securely with twine.
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan; insert a meat thermometer into thickest part. Roast in preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, or until oven thermometer registers 140°F.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt apricot jam and water together.
Remove roast from oven and brush on about half of the apricot jam. Return to oven and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer registers 150°F. Remove from oven; brush with remaining apricot mixture. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes in a warm place before carving. The temperature of the meat after standing should be 160F

He can still eat lean meat and chicken without the skin. When you buy ground meat, just look for those with the least fat. The best thing to eat to lower cholesterol is old fashioned oat, not instant, not cheerios. Also beans. The soluble fiber in oat and beans lowers it.

Lean protein, lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains. I’ve had high cholesterol for 20 years. I have never eaten much cheese, dairy or fats, but my husband does. His cholesterol is 140 mine was 290. My doctor put me on Crestor and mine is now 145. I think it’s more genetic than what you eat.

That "Cheerios can help lower high cholesterol" thing is a MYTH. Studies have shown whole grains can help lower cholesterol and the cheerios makers think since we use some whole grains that means our product lowers cholesterol, it doesn’t.

Just found out the same thing myself. I am been surfing the internet because I DO NOT want to be put on meds. Genetics plays a part in cholesterol levels but I told my doc that I wanted to try exercise etc first cause I know I need to be more consistant with that and eating healthier. I figured I would do what I can to eat healthier and exercise and if that doesn’t help then it’s genetic and I will probably need meds.
Not big on fish myself so my doc recommended Fish Oil for Omega 3’s so if your hubby doesn’t like fish…he needs to take a daily dose of this. She said fish oil…not flax. Also Red Yeast Rice….it comes in an extract (yuck) and a capsule…way easier to swallow.
The best way to get your HDL higher is through exercise….30 minutes a day of brisk walking will help. More won’t hurt.
Oatmeal. Steel cut oats are best…I’ve tried them…I like them. If he doesn’t like them at least try the Old Fashioned Oats…not the quick cook or instant…they are processed further and don’t have the fiber needed.
Does he like Soy? I don’t like soy milk but I’ve had the soy ice cream and it is not bad at all. If he likes his ice cream…give it a try.
Another big thing is butter and margarine. The big thing is the Hydrogenated Oils…they are the worst thing you can have and especially bad as far as the trans fats. There are spreads out there that claim to lower cholesterol but in my research people just bash margarine all together because apparently it is like one molecule from plastic….and lots of preservative chemicals. If you want to try the margarine for lowering cholesterol it’s up to you. Butter is better….cream and salt nothing more. Use it if he has to have it on bread etc but for frying start using Virgin Olive Oil…it’s the good fat they want you to have and way better for you.
I have read a lot about water too. Water Water Water…..it rinses all that gunk out of your system.
High in calories but a small handful of nuts per day is good. Omega 3’s again
Look for leaner cuts of beef if he can’t give up the red meat. Boneless skinless Chicken breast is really good, ground turkey in place of ground meat or at least mixed with it…for meatloaf, spaghetti etc.
Obviously fresh fruits and vegetables.
