Low carb meals (to lower cholesterol)

[Wishimaywishimight]

I have been advised to cut back (not out) carbs and sugar as my cholesterol is apparently "borderline".

The sugar part is easy enough in the sense I know what I need to reduce - cake, chocolate etc.

With regard to carbs, I am struggling a bit with meals. Last night for dinner I had salmon, carrots and spinach. While it was tasty, I was absolutely starving when I woke this morning. Generally I have either potatoes, rice, pasta or noodles along side that type of dinner and I really missed that element.

Lunch is fine, I am happy enough with tuna salad, that sort of thing but I am at a bit of a loss with regard to dinners.

Any suggestions?

Dh had higher cholesterol, he had one of those benecol drinks (the cheaper Tesco version) every day for a month, that reduced it from 5.9 to 3.5, he now has one twice a week, he’s had another blood test to monitor recently and it has stayed at a normal level.

Not saying to control it like that btw, just saying that’s all dh did with those drinks and it reduced it to acceptable levels.

He isn’t unhealthy anyway so couldn’t really tweak his diet by much.

@danni0509 That is absolutely worth a try, many thanks for the tip!
