Back when I exercised regularly and ate a very low-fat, low-cholesterol vegetarian diet, my cholesterol was higher than yours.
Sometimes it's just genetic. For me, I've got a body that produces lots of bad cholesterol when I'm under stress.
It turned out that attempting to work, go to school, and date more than one person while I was *sick* was too much stress. In fact, trying to work while being sick was too much stress. For me, not working has lowered my cholesterol level dramatically. I realize this is not a reasonable option for most people, but given my illnesses, it was the only option--the drop in cholesterol was just an unexpected bonus. ;)
