Hallo
I am a newly diagnosed T2 but have had a high cholesterol problem for a long time. Traditional advice for this was to stay clear of fats and particularly saturated fat.
Now I see on some articles on the net that there is a school of thought that in fact a high carb diet imay cause high cholesterol and that fats and in particular saturates may in fact be good as they raise good HDL cholesterol. This is all contrary to the medical advice I have received before.
Has anybody here had experience of controlling cholesterol levels through a low carb diet?
Regards
Pavlos
