[QUOTE="vit90, post: 795726, member: 141633"] Done properly, LCHF improves your cholesterol profile. It's the carbs which cause bad cholesterol to mess with your system (and high Omega 6 polyunsaturated fats like sunflower and corn oil, etc.) I know it's counter-intuitive but there is real science that explains this down to the molecular level. The 'science' that suggested saturated fats and cholesterol are bad for us was all based on badly executed associative studies and misinterpreted statistics back in the 1960s when biomedical and molecular science was not what it is today. In fact plant sterols (which are related to cholesterols) that are added to things like cholesterol-lowering margarines are now also being shown to be at best a waste of time and at worst harmful as they lower good as well as bad cholesterol. If you reduce carbs to the amount you need to in order to control blood sugar optimally without increasing fat consumption you need to eat more protein and that can still result in elevated blood sugar and in extremis kidney and other problems.
