Message: <blockquote data-quote="saky" data-source="post: 2740371" data-attributes="member: 516304">I have had high ldl's for nearly 2 decades. ldl (2006) - 113mg/dl. trig dropped due to low carbs , usually 40mg/dl - 60mg/dl. Since I have family history of CAD, I visited a cardiologist. He advised me to eat fish but not chicken, avoid full fat dairy. Ldl - 164mg/dl when I saw the cardiologist. I followed low carb with low fat diet but I ate nuts. ldl = 124mg/dl without medicine. It dropped by 38 points i.e 23.1% decrease.Finally I decided to go on ldl reducing medicine (Bemdac) since statins were causing increase in liver enzymes (ALT & ALP).Low fat diet thing worked for me partially.I have been told eating too many nuts also will affect ldl. Trying to reduce them. Want ldl to be in the range of 50mg/dl-60mg/dl due to family history.</blockquote>
