NICE Guidelines
Target levels:
Total - below 5
HDL - above 1.4
Triglycerides - below 1.7 and the lower the better
LDL - below 3.

Total:HDL ratio - target is below 5:1, and preferably 3.5:1

So your results are absolutely perfect Swim, you met every single criteria, but more importantly your Trigs and your Total to Trig ratio are completely awesome.

What sort of diet have you been eating to get great results like this?
 
Double cream mainly :D

but also Bacon and Eggs, Butter, Salad, Sausages, lots of green veg... oh and the odd statin (sorry..)
 
Hey Swimmer those are great results another lchf success story so well done with all the hard work. :clap: :clap: :clap:
