Cholesterol going up

[satkins]

Hello again everyone. In my previous threat I stated I'm off metformin which is really good. Bad news is my cholesterol is up slightly. From a 5.2 to a 5.8 total (LDL HDL and TRI). I've got an appointment with the dietitian in a few weeks and I know she is going to want me to cut out eggs (I have one a day) and probably a few more items. I would like to be a bit more proactive on this so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Thanks.
Stephen

couldn´t you just eat half as many eggs as you do now and get one every other day instead...?

Hi Stephen, do you have your HDL and trig results?
Eggs don't affect cholesterol, its carbs put up ldl for some.

A Prof Ken Sakaris does an interesting talk on Cholesterol on youtube, he is a world expert and it is worth watching.

If you have been on a LCHF diet your HDL will have gone up and affected your total cholesterol. It may be your non HDL hasn't changed as yet!?

It is good if your HDL has gone up at the same time your fasting trigs usually come down.
