[QUOTE="Claire87, post: 458349, member: 68396"] Thanks for all the replies everyone, especially MPE for the information. I'm very relieved that my numbers are on the 'healthy range'. I'm not too worried by the cholesterol, although I am going to ask if I can get some tests done that will explore it on a deeper level. I'm just curious what kind of results come back, assuming they offer that kind of test at my local surgery. Hopefully, all these posts will help answer other people's questions about cholesterol too, I know they helped me. The one thing I will say is avoid Statins like the plague. The NNT on them is deadly imo. The side effects of that stuff is just beyond awful, and you probably won't need them on a low carb diet. Statins are offered to people far too often with little evidence of cholesterol problems. I got offered them. I'm glad I turned them down. Looking at the lipids and causes for those grainy ones that attach to your arteries, the fats that cause it seem to predominantly be: margarine and vegetable oils etc. These are fats that replaced butter in the 1970's when the low fat diet became the recommended one. Since that recommendation there have been rises in heart disease, diabetes and obesity every single year to a point where obesity and diabetes are becoming an epidemic. It really is time for the health organisations to begin studies on obesity, diabetes and heart diesease in correlation with diet. Just from my own results, I can see a massive difference in my health by going low carb. In the past I've done a low fat diet (also dropping 5 stone) and I did not come out of it healthy. As someone who has tried both diets, I can see a real difference in my overall health on a low carb diet, whereas on a low fat one, I just made myself ill. Low carb doesn't even feel like a diet. It's just eating things I love and skipping manufactured **** in my experience. :) [/QUOTE]
