How NutriPlan optimises for High Cholesterol
Saturated fat reduction
Replacing saturated fats (butter, red meat, cheese) with unsaturated fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts) directly lowers LDL cholesterol.
Soluble fibre priority
Oats, barley, legumes and fruit contain beta-glucan and pectin — soluble fibres proven to bind cholesterol in the gut and reduce absorption.
Omega-3 rich foods
Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) 2–3 times per week raises protective HDL cholesterol and reduces triglycerides.
Mediterranean pattern
The Mediterranean diet has the strongest evidence for cardiovascular protection. Our plans follow this pattern with UK-appropriate ingredients.

Frequently asked questions
How much can diet lower my cholesterol?+
A therapeutic diet change (reducing saturated fat, increasing soluble fibre and plant sterols) can reduce LDL cholesterol by 15–25% in 8–12 weeks. Combined with statins, the effect is additive.
Should I avoid all eggs?+
Current UK guidelines don't restrict egg consumption for most people. Eggs are included in our plans as a source of protein and nutrients. If your GP has given specific advice, follow their guidance.
Is this suitable alongside statin medication?+
Yes. Diet and statins work through different mechanisms and are complementary. Grapefruit should be avoided with some statins — our plans flag this.
