[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2305874, member: 41816"] You've made a few assumptions there, that I suspect you might revise with some extra info, if you want to look into it. Things like assuming that it is the saturated fat that has increased your cholesterol, and assuming that your new level of cholesterol is 'bad' in the first place. Also assuming that having cholesterol 'in the 4s' is an ideal place to be. Personally, I want my total cholesterol in the 5s at least (as an aging woman). Although I question whether a total cholesterol figure is of any use to anyone under any circumstances (unless you are a doc who can't be bothered to look deeper, and have statin prescriptions on speed dial). And my cholesterol doesn't budge due to the [I][B]sat fats[/B][/I] I eat. The one higher reading I have had in recent years was due to a birthday celebration meal the day before, when my Trigs were temporarily double their usual number, due to having [I][B]more carbs[/B][/I] in the meal than I ever usually have. It certainly wasn't a problem caused by my long term keto way of eating, which gives me nicely average-plus-a-bit cholesterol readings and ideal ratios. What was your cholesterol breakdown (trigs, HDL and LDL)? And what were the ratios? [/QUOTE]
