[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1138120, member: 211504"] My cholesterol was largely unchanged 2 months into my low-carb diet. However, I got my results back yesterday after 6-7months in and the results were pretty dramatic. Note: I'm in the US and converted these numbers for all of you so hopefully i didn't make an error: Total cholesterol- 5.8 (December 2nd) to 4.4 (April 25th) Calculated LDL- 3.6 to 2.4 HDL- 1.6 to 1.2 Risk Ratio- 2.29 to 1.96 Triglycerides- 1.49 to 1.1 A1c also went from 42.1 down to 35.5 Notes about my diet: -I do NOT regulate my saturated fats and my fridge has 30+ pounds of meat in it. -I eat less than 50g of carbs a day and currently around 30-35g -I have a very high protein intake of around 200-250g a day (1g+ per pound of body weight) -I eat a ton of chicken and lean meats, but also things like bacon and cheese. -my total cholesterol had stayed in the 5.8 range for about 2 years until most recently. -high cholesterol and t2 both run in my family so they're things I need to keep an eye on.
