[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 309374, member: 33342"] You should certainly talk to your GP, and consider all of the mainstream CVD listed above. But you should also realise that all of the underlying research that determines the "mainstream position" is in the context of a "balanced" carbohydrate diet. You appear to be following a low-carbohydrate diet with some success. If decide to stick with this approach, you need to turn your attention to work that is done in the context of a carbohydrate restricted approach: [list][*]The most important work in the field of blood lipids and low-carbohydrate diets is from Jeff Volek's lab which demonstrates that when the blood of volunteers was assayed for saturated fatty acids, those who had been on a low carbohydrate diet had lower levels than those on an isocaloric low-fat diet.
