Can I lower my high lipid profile
Hello doctors , help me please
I am 6 ft and weight is 93. Since lockdown in 2020 i started eating out daily with swiggy and Zomato and my stomach is round and big.
Cholestrol - 265 , triglycerides - 227 , LDL - 189 , HDL - 40
I just wanted to ask if i do intense workout for 2 hours daily and take low carbs diet , would I be able to make my LDL below 100.
Is this possible even ?
Or its like once ldl raised to 190 it is impossible to make it to 100 with diet and exercise or should I start station and do exercise and dieting ...also will I be able to get off statin once started. I am 26
Thank you doctors
No need of statins at present. Do lifestyle modifications for 3 months with regular exercise, weight reduction, avoiding junk, high fiber diet. Repeat lipid profile after 3 months

Yes you can reduce the LDL with diet and exercise. Better to try diet and exercise for 3 months and see the results.
If uncontrolled still medicines can be started.
