[QUOTE="christi99, post: 909779, member: 179601"] Wow... that is amazing. Ok I am also in a dilemma here re: choesterol/lipids. I had an annual cholesterol/lipid panel done ( I have been doing the VLCD but had recently increase carbs a bit (but high quality, high fiber like quinoa, brown rice etc). I don't need to lose weight, I have increased my exercise a lot more, eat little to no red meat, have very little saturated fat in general, no processed foods, etc.etc. and have avoided gluten (I have another autoimmune disease I am trying to impact). Just to keep it simple - my cholesterol yearly is around 140's. Well just got it back and it is 300!!!!! ( I am not sure what scale is used in the UK -but it should be less than 200). Ya, I have high HDL's but also high LDL! As well ,my H1AC was high, my fasting blood glucose was high, and now my doc wants to put me on metformin and a statin!! I am shocked!!! Usually I am controlled with diet alone. I realise it may be coincidental, but that seems unlikely. I am so disappointed. I will not go on a statin but frankly I am so angry I have had these results from this diet. I am not going to add more carbs but I will add more fiber and exercise even more (Blah...) I just wonder if anyone else had a spike in cholesterol following change to this diet? And I was hoping for better BS control not worse... [/QUOTE]
