[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2513279, member: 517579"] Your total cholesterol (which is calculated not measured) is about the same as mine. All my other lipid readings are in range. My total cholesterol has fallen since I started low carb and as much fat as I wanted two and a half years ago. I am not at all convinced that a low fat diet is the way to achieve low cholesterol, as you body makes the cholesterol it needs, and I am equally to be convinced that low cholesterol is a desirable thing of itself. My practice can't quite work out why my total score is falling, It's not doing what they think it should. As you might guess I am consistently offered statins and equally consistently refuse them. What you do is your decision - I think however it's important to know that the advice you are getting may not be the most helpful. [/QUOTE]
