The Cholesterol Lowering Diet (I HOPE!)

Well, for the next month or so I will be following this menu that I devised.  I searched the internet, used info I had previously found, and wrote a diet that I feel will help me achieve my goal of LOWER cholesterol numbers. Use what you like. Change what you feel will work best for you. Add calories if the total amount isn't enough for your body type.  Let me know if you have any questions and I will try my best to answer them for you. So, here goes nothing~
