<p>I eat butter and red meat. I add cream to my sauces. I eat cheese. I eat shrimp. I don’t much like eggs but I do eat them. I do drink non-fat milk and eat non-fat yogurt (I prefer the taste). I cook mostly with olive oil. I have avoided trans-fats (artificially hydrogenated fats) since 1973, when my biochemistry professor told me he considered them extremely dangerous. </p>
<p>My HDL is 95 (yes, really) and my LDL is 105. My total cholesterol is over 200—but only because my HDL is so high. </p>
<p>I do walk about 20 miles a week, in addition to regular <em>anaerobic</em> exercise in the form of short sprints 2 or 3 times per week, probably totaling about a mile a week. (I do enough of those that sweat drips off my hair.) I reluctantly do yoga once a week.</p>
