Weight loss and eating the right foods will help with lowering cholesterol - sometimes it's enough to avoid medication. Your diet plan does focus on avoiding saturated fats, trans fats, and keeps the total fat content low in the diet which is a heart healthy way of eating. You'll see that the types of animal foods you need to choose are lean and the dairy products should be nonfat or very low fat. This greatly reduces saturated fat which contributes to high LDL levels. But there are other things about your diet that can help as well: eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables for the antioxidants, eating seafood and fish for the omega-3 fats which help reduce inflammatory response and make platelets less sticky in the blood, as well as choosing high nutrition, high fiber carbohydrates will also make a difference. Last, eating at the calorie level you are given will cause the weight loss. Do these things and even if you have to take medication, you'll be maximizing your diet so that perhaps you'll need less medication if and when you have to take it.

I hope this helps - of course it's a big concern to have a health risk like this, but there is much you can do so feel good about that!
