[QUOTE="CondorX, post: 2242112, member: 505475"] Please don't base your decisions on a Total Cholesterol level as these levels are more or less meaningless despite the scaremongering amongst many uninformed professionals - GPs and Diabetic Nurses particularly. Do a search on here for the long and valuable threads about Cholesterol levels and how important RATIOS are rather than individual numbers. [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] has a wealth of experience about this - hopefully he will be along soon, EDIT: Just beat me to it! but you might well be a hyper responder - some of us on LCHF diets are - I have lost about 25% of my body mass since April 2019 and my Total Cholesterol is over 8 currently but I have perfect ratios and Trigs and HDL. I adamantly refuse to take statins. Look for books by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, check out Dave Feldman's website and read what nutritionists like Zoe Harcombe have to say. Inform yourself - it is a controversial subject - do not blindly dump your LCHF diet and go onto statins without making a very informed choice............ [/QUOTE]
