[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 291114, member: 33342"] If anything, my cholesterol levels are too low: [list][*]Total = 3.6 mmol/l [*]HDL = 0.9 mmol/l [*]Trigs = 0.99 mmol/l [*]LDL = 2.2 mmol/l[/list] If you are eating a ketogenic diet you'd expect the following to happen: [list][*]Your trigs to decrease [*]Your HDL ("good cholesterol") to increase [*]Your LDL quality to increase, but not its quantity[/list] In the words of Richard Feinman: "Dietary carbohydrate restriction is the single most effective method (except for total starvation) of reducing triglycerides, and is as effective as any intervention, including most drugs, at increasing HDL and reducing the number of small-dense LDL particles. Beyond lipid markers, carbohydrate restriction improves all of the features of metabolic syndrome. " [url=https://rdfeinman.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/dietary-carbohydrate-restriction-in-the-management-of-diabetes-the-15-theses/]https://rdfeinman.wordpress.com/2012/03 ... 15-theses/[/url] In the absence of dietary carbohydrate you'd expect an increased fat intake to be good for your lipid profile. This is not surprising, because ketosis is a "fat adapted" state, where your body becomes much more efficient at using fat as fuel. Anyway, there is no link between increased fat intake and cardio-vascular mortality, so it seems a bit silly to even worry about it. [/QUOTE]
