Why? I don't actually care what your cholesterol is to be honest. You eat your diet, you get a number. You like it, or you don't. It doesn't impact my life. I don't expect to impact yours.
ANd you've had the opportunity, for some time, to explain.And some of you still seem confused over the difference in fats to be honest.
I am not at all confused about the different fat. I am, however, confused about how you know what type of fat elevated your cholesterol level.And some of you still seem confused over the difference in fats to be honest.
I'm sure you can find the ignore button.Then dont' make claims
What do you hope to gain here? People are asking because they want to understand and yet you act coy and it just comes off badlyI'm sure you can find the ignore button.
What 'evidence' to my 'claims' would you like.What do you hope to gain here? People are asking because they want to understand and yet you act coy and it just comes off badly
Couldn't agree more.From my experience and the results from many blood tests including hba1c, cholesterol, function tests, and eOGTT.
I have to stay away from polyunsaturated fats.
I know that this is a twist to the thread but having read up (again) about how certain fats react with my condition and from the list (Wikipedia) has come up with, it is not how much fat it is for me, but which foods I (have) to avoid.
But I have upped my protein fats more lately and maybe that's why my weight has plateaued!
But, don't we up are fats to balance what we don't get from carbs, essentially?
So, that because it is our own individual balance of protein, fats and carbs that dictates how we get a healthier future!

How much fat causes your cholesterol to be problematic and how do you know it is problematic?What 'evidence' to my 'claims' would you like.
Because, I eat saturated fats, (And wiki is a good free guide to food that contains saturated fats for those that need to know were they come from in a diet) and my cholesterol goes up. I don't eat them, my cholesterol drops into numbers I like better. And better for me is within NHS guidelines. Cholesterol is measured by a procedure we're all aware off, there's not really a lot anyone can add to that.
I'm not a guru, I don't want to be retweeted, I'm not selling my book, I'm not promising to tell you something you already know, or something to make you feel good, if you buy through my paywall, I'm actually not hoping to gain anything at all from telling you what saturated fats do to my cholesterol. I really don't mind if people need to be convinced, I just won't interested in convincing then.
If you want to try for yourself, try, if you don't want to, don't.
What are protein fats?
How would you avoid polyunsaturats? Most food has a combination of sat, mono and poly.

Fat, the million dollar question.
There seems to be a conflict in the low carb world over how much fat one should eat. People on both sides argue passionately to the point where you cannot ask questions without being seen as a disruptive influence. This is something I take great exception to, personally. It isn't helpful. I've heard people say that calories don't matter and that you should eat loads of fat, around 200g a day I've been told. I'm not sure how to actually do that without vastly increasing your protein or even carb intake. I couldn't stomach that much pure fat. Conversely others advocate the precise monitoring of macro intake and working with, usually a 20%, caloric deficit precisely because eating too much, essentially, puts on weight.
All i know is that in nearly five months I've barely lost weight, and haven't at all in 4. I've been stalled at 83kg (give or take a few grams). I have no idea why this is, and it has knocked my confidence. I would like to lose 20kg and not be overweight. If one can eat as much fat as one likes without gaining weight, then how do I explain my weight loss. And if caloric intake is irrelevant, what does it matter how much I eat surely?
I believe there's a lot of misinformation out there. The same goes for protein. People argue that too much is pretty negative as gluconuogenesis occurs and dumps a lot of glucose into the system, this also spikes insulin which can be a problem for some. This is also one of the reasons people evangelise about fasting - it improves insulin resistance allegedly. Again there are those who argue that protein is not a problem, or that it's only an issue when eaten at high amounts, such that most of us don't reasonably consume. Unfortunately I find that I feel fuller on meals with a lot of protein so I tend to around 100-120g protein a day with about the same in fats. I calculate a caloric intake between 13-1400 a day. That's a deficit surely, even for a relatively sedentary person like me, yet I'm not losing weight.
So I have no idea what the truth is about fat intake, but where can you turn for answers when the medical community still clings to the orthodoxy of low fat high carb?
My doctor said when I was found to have raised cholesterol that it can be hereditary that if our parents had high cholesterol the more chance of us having it. In my parents day they would not have known if they had high cholesterol or not as there was no tests for itNot arguing at all but my tryglicerides are always in question and I eat extremely low carb.
Anyone know why this would be?
To add, my HDL is always high and all my ratios are ideal so not worrried in the least, just curious as to what else causes high tryglicerides
