[QUOTE="mrbondsbody, post: 848375, member: 175761"] I recently got the results of my cholesterol test back from the GP. My stats: Total cholesterol= 8.3 HDL= 1.4 LDL= 6.0 Triglycerides= 1.4 I am a little concerned that my HDL is not improving relative to my LDL. I have been eating low carb since Jan and ketogenic since march (1 month). My triglycerides came back at 1.4 which is brilliant. I knew that eating before the test would alter results when I had it done back in March. My tri/HDL ratio is now excellent. For more information: [URL='http://www.drsinatra.com/the-blood-lipid-ratio-everyone-should-watch/'][U]http://www.drsinatra.com/the-blood-lipid-ratio-everyone-should-watch/[/U][/URL] This article is probably the most important: A well respected doctors option on the matter: [URL='http://www.drbriffa.com/2013/08/23/research-finds-raised-cholesterol-to-be-associated-with-a-reduced-risk-of-death/'][U]http://www.drbriffa.com/2013/08/23/research-finds-raised-cholesterol-to-be-associated-with-a-reduced-risk-of-death/[/U][/URL] My TC/HDL is unchanged. But my LDL has slightly increased. So I am consulting with a private cardiologist to analyse the component of my LDL to see if its mostly harmless LDL-P or unwanted LDL-C. If it comes back as the wrong type I will change my diet. But seeing as tri/HDL ratio is a good substitute it maybe the harmless type of LDL. If not then because my current diet is controlling my blood glucose excellently and the risk markers are more favourable then I will continue my current diet with slight modications to try and alter my HDL to LDL ratio.
