Addition to above post on 5-7-22:
The above post is information I located on HBP.
The below post comment is information on heart health.
I don't know how old your Harvard article was (please edit your post to include the link), but this one is from August 2021: "Eating fish two or three times a week can lower LDL in two ways: by REPLACING MEAT, which has LDL-boosting saturated fats, and by delivering LDL-lowering omega-3 fats. Omega-3s reduce triglycerides in the bloodstream and also protect the heart by helping prevent the onset of abnormal heart rhythms."

I'm not sure if it's the weight loss or the dietary changes I've made, but my BP has come down a bit. Lifestyle changes go a long way. You're taking the initiative to make choices that'll help, and that's commendable 👍

@Sugarplum: your article was older (August 2019), and a very important detail was left out: "Red meat (limit cold cuts, sausage, other processed meats): Servings per week: 1. Amount to buy for a week: 1/4 pound." It also includes items like sugar and desserts. When in doubt, I would follow your personal doctor's recommendation as to what will work, as oftentimes there are multiple health issues with the raised LDL, like diabetes and kidney stones, heart disease, and elevated blood pressure.

Thanks all for your great input. I have an appointment with the MA at my Doctor's office, when he/she can fit me in.

Thank you, sugar plum and other FS friends. For me, a much lower BP is hopefully the primary outcome of significant weight loss😊
