Hi John, Interesting question as I just had a similar situation and my numbers are almost exactly the same as yours. LDL - 3.27, HDL - 1.93, Trigs .52, total cholesterol - 5.44. My doctor wanted me to go on Statins due to the LDL number but I told him no due to the other two markers. I'm not...

Thank you very much Alison, that's quite an article, I just finished it and it gave me lots to think about and helped crystallize my thoughts on this subject. I need to read it again at least once more as it's quite complicated for somebody like me without a medical or biology/chemistry...

I'm not intelligent enough to explain it properly, it's very complicated and I don't pretend to understand it well but I'll give it a go. The reason most people on a keto diet limit their protein is to mitigate the likelihood of your liver converting excess protein (most of the amino acids, in...

That's fantastic and coincidentally I was told the same thing by my doctor today. My A1C in my recent test came back at 5.8 so I was thrilled to finally get it under 6. Similar to you, I was diagnosed just over 5 years ago and I immediately changed my lifestyle, not that it was terrible before...
