My Cholesterol Level Total Is 303. LDL Is 226 HDL

My Cholesterol level total is 303. LDL is 226 HDL is 56 and Triclicrides is 105. I have went on atkins for past two months and lost 20 lbs. So I am not sure what the numbers would be if I had not lost the weight. I am continuing Atkins as I want to lose 15 more lbs. I also have bee going to the gym 5-6 days a week doing moderate excersie of walking and weight machines.
My doctor wants to put me on Zocor. I want to try to lower with my new committed lifestyle change.
I am female 53 years old and post menopause since last year.
I have heard once you start statins you are on them for life. What do you advise?
