Hola GPH! Some definite things that have helped me:
1) Try not to have reward meals - and if you do, have them earlier in the day so you can work them off a bit;
2) Cheeses cause stalls (well, cheeses in excess, that is);
3) I have been eating a whole lot of red meat, butter, cheese, fat, etc, and my cholesterol is very low - you may need to have bloodwork initially; then follow a LCHF plan strictly (ie, no 'reward meals') for a few months and have your bloodwork taken again. See if there's improvement. My one friend has horrible cholesterol (genetic), and she cannot follow a low carb high fat diet or her cholesterol skyrockets. This WOE works medical wonders for a lot of folks - I hope you're one of them!!!
