[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1899943, member: 219467"] Quite a few report higher LDL on a Low Carb /Keto diet.. the question should be "is this a bad thing"? As I said with your Trig HDL ratio being so great (and that supposed to be a far better indicator of heart disease) then personally I wouldn't be worried with those numbers. As you can see my TC figs have also gone up eating this way but I have had a CAC scan which showed very little arterial plaque for someone who has been overweight and a heavy smoker and drinker for years so I'm not worried. If you have a read of Dave Feldman's [URL="http://www.cholesterolcode.com"]www.cholesterolcode.com[/URL] which I have linked to in my cholesterol thread you will find that elevated LDL is pretty common. The great news is that your HbA1c has gone down which is after all what you want to get sorted first. So great on the HbA1c great Trig/HDL ratio.... you just have a few "inconvenient" numbers from your doctors perspective but I seriously doubt they are an expert on this stuff. [/QUOTE]
