[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2304394, member: 480869"] More accurately it occasionally leads to higher ldl numbers and therefore total numbers, hdl usually rises (which is good) and triglycerides fall significantly, also good. If a dr isn’t looking at these breakdowns and ratios they aren’t trying hard enough and possibly don’t know enough. There is scientific support for the theory that the ldl (which is calculated not measured) is predominately large buoyant particles that are protective when on low carb rather than small and dense types that are potentially damaging. This is rarely investigated at gp level. If someone is losing significant amounts of weight - by any method - it is possible for numbers to rise temporarily. Waiting til weight is more stable is a more informative. As is fasting even though many drs don’t ask for this now to prevent missed appointments past the earliest ones in the day. [/QUOTE]
