Trying To Reduce My Cholesterol

[Barsel]

My cholesterol was 6.1 and my GP spoke to me about going on statins.
I asked him to give me 3 months to try to reduce it by diet, and this is what I've done so far.
Changed semi skimmed milk to skimmed.
Stopped eating cheese, cream, butter.
Drinking a Benecol yogurt drink everyday.
Eating oats and nuts everyday.
Do you think this will do the trick and is there something else I could be doing?
Please don't mention exercise as it isn't an option. TIA.

Different statins have different side-effects.
