Among these, Cottage Cheese (Paneer) has the highest cholesterol and saturated fat. Potato, cauliflower, and mushroom have zero cholesterol they are plant based. Paneer (low fat) can be eaten in moderation: about 50 to 75 gm/day if cholesterol is normal. Avoid frying steam, grill, or stir fry with minimal oil.

How to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides in two months?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had my lipid profile done, and my triglycerides are 193 mg/dL, while the normal limit is less than 150 mg/dL. My weight and BMI are normal, but I delivered a baby 8 months ago, consumed a lot of desi ghee, and currently have minimal physical activity. Could you please advise how I can reduce my triglycerides? Do I need medication, or can it be managed with diet and lifestyle changes?
