As with most diet plans, variety is best.
A lot of food products from cereal to margarine to special vitamin blends claim to lower cholesterol. Generally they don't make a big change in levels. I would guess they just don't make it worse like eating a giant bacon cheese burger. And remember, our bodies make cholesterol so not all of it comes from food and not all the margarine and cereal in the world can give us perfect numbers.

I had high cholesterol but the doctor did not prescribed any medicine to lower my cholesterol but instead she advised me to lose weight because I was overweight for about 15 lbs. She said daily exercise will help me reduce weight and at the same time my cholesterol level will go down. I also eat oatmeal instead of rice and wheat bread instead of white bread. More fruits and vegetables instead of junk foods. When I went back for another test the level became normal. Thanks for healthy habits.

Your cholesterol is great and so are your triglycerides. Actually remarkably good.
The reason why your cholesterol isn't very low, is that you have lots of the good cholesterol (HDL). This cholesterol is protective against cardiovascular disease. So your cholesterol profile is perfect. You would rather prefer your cholesterol profile than a total of 160 and a HDL of 37, for example.
Eggs do contain cholesterol, but are not shown to raise the cholesterol in our bodies. Fish oil pills are an excellent way to raise your HDL and lower LDL due to the high content of the Omege 3 fatty acids that they contain. Anything that has a high Omega 3 content will have this effect, such as flax seed. Most commercial eggs are commonly high in Omega 6 fatty acids due to the fact that they are raised in cages and eat the seeds of plants that have a high Omega 6 content.

Hello and welcome to MedHelp. I'm happy to try to answer your question but am not sure what you mean. Oatmeal is pretty straight forward. Are you asking if you can add it to other foods or use it in recipes? There are a variety of healthy grains such as buck wheat or wheat berry that have the same benefit as oatmeal but oatmeal is probably the easiest to make and consume. What specifically are you speaking of when you say 'the traditional way'?
