Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ian DP" data-source="post: 758614" data-attributes="member: 91575">My understanding is, a high fat diet increases your HDL (good) levels of cholesterol. It has certainly done that for me. My diabetic dietician was amazed at my fantastically improved levels of HDL, against all her training and NHS advise she said, but exactly the same as another patient who is on the same diet (LCHF) as me.I am on a 80% fat diet (5% carb, 15% protein). Too much protein can cause other problems, but it would seem that a very high fat diet is now considered healthy. Indeed Dr Trudi Deakin, who writes the NHS diet guidelines, has herself said the she is now on an 82% fat diet, and written a book on it.</blockquote>
