Message: <blockquote data-quote="Melgar" data-source="post: 2691580" data-attributes="member: 520626">I'm just jumping on this discussion about LMHRs, from a couple of years back. I'm well behind the 8 ball on this. I had never heard of LMHR phenotypes before. So I have now come from under my rock after being nudged by a couple of members. I fit this type. I went on a keto diet with high expectations. I lasted  9 months. I didn't enjoy my meals, and fats do make me feel a bit icky. The other reason, I didn't want to lose anymore weight.Ignoring the fact that my blood sugars didn't really come down, I was taken aback, to say the least, when I had my lipid panel results. My LDL cholesterol had actually gone up and out of range, it was high. In point of fact I had resumed carbs prior to getting the lipid test done. My LDLs have in the past been in range, but not this time. I couldn't understand why. I put it down to the increase in dairy which I used to replace the carbs: 35% cream; aged cheddar; and many other high fat cheeses; full fat Greek yoghurt; and butter on everything, but very low carbs, sufficiently low to put me into nutritional ketosis. First thing I did on getting these result was to cut back on my dairy. Then asked my Dr if I needed to go on Statins! A swift no was his reply. So, keto diet, increased LDL. That sums it up.I am very fitBMI of 19Low Triglycerides - 0.61 mmol/ls - the lab range states less than 2.21 mmol/ls is optimal.Out of range LDL's and HDL's. Total Cholesterol 6.54 mmol/ls lab range 2.00 - 5.19 mmol/ls LDL Cholesterol 4.41 mmol/ls lab range 1.50 - 3.40 mmol/lsThis was after I reintroduced carbs, my mind boggles as to how high my LDL's actually went. I will never know.</blockquote>
