[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2249573, member: 501623"] If you are looking for information about cholesterol on a low carb diet, look up Dave Feldman. He also has a FB page called LMHR (Lean Mass Hyper Responders) and the people in that group share their experience and can also give you some pointers. Others to look up would be Ken Sikaris, Paul Mason, Peter Attia and some others via Diet Doctor. They all have slightly differing opinions as no one really knows the long term effects of keto / low carb on cholesterol. Although the Atkins Diet started a long time ago and I imagine there must be someone who started eating low carb years ago and is still around to talk about it. If not, then maybe it doesn't work long term... :wacky: I hear that elderly women with high cholesterol tend to live longer. But before you worry too much, you could look into having the lipid subfraction blood test (you might have to pay for that one). It can tell you how much of your LDL is small and dense (or oxidised from too much sugar in the diet). It gives a clearer picture if your LDL is high whether it is all bad or only partly bad. High trigs is something else to look at. As far as statins go, I'm sure for some older folk, they can prolong your life, but taking them earlier in life may not be wise if the side effects catch up with you. I've been offered them - I'm 45yo and breastfeeding an 11 month old baby. The young doctor I saw assured me I could have a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years with my high cholesterol (I think the total is about 8 mmol). My trigs are low but my LDL and HDL and total are pretty high. But quitting breastfeeding my then 2 month old to take statins didn't feel right to me. The lipid subfraction test results say there is only a small increased risk for someone with my profile so that made me feel a bit better about not taking medication.
