[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2357813, member: 355878"] I suspect your not eating saturated fats is the problem. Cholesterol is made in the liver and it is an essential component of our bodies. I have yet to find any information about low fat eating being beneficial. Low fat makes Humans less healthy, from what I can discover. People believe that by eating less fat their cholesterol reduces and that is a good thing - but having found one or two articles which seem to show that older people have higher cholesterol I find myself unable to work actively towards reducing my cholesterol as that might very well reduce my lifespan. I just eat the usual low carb diet and I never get hungry and my cholesterol is in the normal range - but as I am labelled diabetic the GP wants it reduced. But of course, I do not have any symptoms of diabetes eating as I do. The carbs I do eat come from vegetables usually - I think you would be able to eat the stir fries and salads I usually eat. My limit of 40 gm a day might seem meagre, but when I decide to make a salad to have for dinner I usually have to eat what I can and then go back to it later, as it is too much in one go. [/QUOTE]
