[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 315399, member: 33342"] So what you are saying is that "I am eating a low-fat high-carbohydrate diet" but my cholesterol is still high". There is a good chance that your cholesterol is high [i]because[/i] you are eating a high-carbohydrate diet. In the words of Dr Richard Feinman: "Dietary carbohydrate restriction is the single most effective method (except for total starvation) of reducing triglycerides, and is as effective as any intervention, including most drugs, at increasing HDL and reducing the number of small-dense LDL particles. Beyond lipid markers, carbohydrate restriction improves all of the features of metabolic syndrome." Obviously you have to do your own research and talk to your Doctor (good luck with that), but the latest research suggests that swapping fats for carbohydrates has no benefit in terms cholesterol or mortality.
