[QUOTE="covknit, post: 1505862, member: 346585"] Not completely sure about that. I seem to recall that genetic heritage is the most important factor in high HDL readings. A long way after that in the category of stuff we can influence comes yes to exercise, weight control and niacin. The NOT to's are transfats, smoking and drinking, although my little glass of red wine should be ok apparently. None of us can do anything about our genes but if the weight is "right" and there was no health factor like diabetes to influence food choice I do not think LCHF equals increased HDL although eating something like doughnuts does seem to be a very bad idea for everyone. Defining what is a healthy cholesterol reading seems very confusing although I am sure a reading above 10 would give me a heart attack on the spot. Surely the elephant in the room yet again is genetic heritage and our personal risk factor. The only calculation I know for that is qrisk and that surely must be the point at which we all have to start designing our ideal diet. [/QUOTE]
