how do you reduce calories? eat less fatty foods is an easy option, that will help you reach a deficit.

No, that's not it. Come on, this has been stated numerous times here that reducing calories isn't the only thing that makes you lose weight.

if you have high cholesterol, you should lower your cholesterol intake through foods especially those with high ldl. I know because i've gone through it and been told to by a General practitioner and a gastroenterologists.
It takes a significant amount of time to do so, but it helps rather then keeping the cholesterol intake the same
perhaps if you read my post about ldl cholesterol in eggs, maybe that answers the quesiton for you.
27% of the cholesterol in eggs is ldl cholesterol. If you consume a large amount of eggs, your ldl choleserol per day will increase and so will your cholesterol levels over time. This isnt rocket science here.
No, it's LDL science!

everyone's diet is different, without a standard ratio in place your point is moot.
i layed out a 1 to 1 ratio to show the siginificant caloric difference between fats, carbs and proteins and used that as my thesis onto why fatty foods are calorie dense.
Now you're complicating the issue saying it all depends on how much of each you consume without giving a standard.
For alot of foods, you gain most of the calories from fats, if you reduce fatty food intake, you will have an easier time creating a caloric deficit. How is this so hard to comprehend?
Clearly civility is lost with you

Lol of course I understand it. I already lost plenty of weight by doing the right things (cutting fat/salt/sugar/cholesterol) and it paid off immensely. Focusing on fat alone is fucking retarded.
Not least because many people find low fat diets tasteless, making it much more likely they'll fail at sticking to them.

And with regards to cholesterol consumption with eggs, i would revert you to this study, it showed 20% more (TABLE 4) ldl cholesterol then hdl cholesterol where eggs contain very little fat.
There is a reason why there are dietary guidelines for cholesterol (i think 300 mg per day for the average person), and this is one of them.
Adversely, you can see that the study showed that shrimp actually increased HDL cholesterol over ldl cholesterol, which means that shrimp may be beneficial to reducing overall ldl cholesterol.
So in essence, cholesterol intake can and does effect your body LDL cholesterol, even when saturated fats are not part of the equation.

Something that i haven't said at all in this thread and has been misconstrued and used against me.
All i said was, reducing fatty food intake is an efficient way to create a caloric deficit. 1,000,001th time now
