[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1565507, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome aboard, Please don't worry about eating fats as long as his carbs are low. In most people cholesterol drops on a low/higher fat diet. Mine improved a lot, and I eat a lot of dairy, bacon, and tons of eggs. Ask him to find out what the breakdown of his cholesterol results were. The total cholesterol is meaningless without this. It is just a total of the good and the bad, so he needs to know what his balance is. The figures most important are the HDL and the triglycerides. The HDL is the good stuff and needs to be as high as possible. The trigs are the baddies and need to be very low. However, if his test was not a fasting one, his cholesterol results will be a bit skewed as the lipids will all be swimming about in the bloodstream doing their job after eating. [/QUOTE]
