@Tweetypie Sorry, I haven't been online for a few days... here is the recipe. I don't use Splenda as it suggests, but rather liquid Stevia. When I make them, I make a double batch and freeze them. They last well in the freezer.

Zesty Lemon Cheesecake Fat Bombs
Makes 14 Servings | Per Serving: Cal 92, Net Carbs <1



Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 4 tbsp grass-fed butter, softened
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Splenda
Instructions

Blend all ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth.

Pour into cupcake liners, tins or molds and freeze until firm, at least a few hours, preferably overnight.
:wacky:

So, what happened with the cholesterol experiment?

not particularly scientific..:)For 14 days, salmon almost everyday, stopped butter completely, switched exclusively to olive oil.
continued with eggs as my previous "experiment" saw eggs raise my HDL.

result. LDL up by 20%, Trigs up by 60%, HDL down 20%. reconfirmed similar numbers a couple of days later.

with weight loss, the LDL is constantly high but HDL & Trigs are all over the place.
planning to check my ApoB soon.
whatever the result, i am moving forward with LCHF regardless. actually, my total consumption of fat isn't even that high anymore..

When you say your BS was going low. Was your action based on the number, or how you were feeling? How low did you go?
