[QUOTE="Frodmella, post: 1084975, member: 180493"] An update from the original poster. I had a fasting blood test done about 6 weeks after the one mentioned that caused the concern: Total cholesterol 6 mmol/l Triglycerides 1.6mmol/l HDL 1.3 mmol/l So doctor is no longer concerned. This is the first time that I have ever had triglycerides and HDL within the recommended levels and so I am very pleased. HDL is still going up and triglycerides are ok, though I hope that they will reduce further. Interestingly I have read that artificial sweeteners may contribute to higher levels of triglyceride when on a LCHF diet. And I do use them in sugar free drinks etc. I may look into this further. But overall thrilled that everything seems to be coming right and I feel great. Weight loss has stopped and I still have about 7 lb to go. But I will carry on eating this way as it is a lifetime way of eating and so the weight will be whatever it decides to be. [/QUOTE]
