[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2193708, member: 506169"] The Dave Feldman Protocol is just something I tread so as not to spook my 'stone-age' GP with a high LDL reading at the time I had my HbA1C and Lipids tested. He'd told me several lies including that you can't have an LDL too low. - Obviously rubbish since your need all the (non-oxidized, non-glycated) forms or Cholesterol in order to live! But since he is obsessive about LDL and since I was ignoring his stupid High Carb Low Fat advice, in order to avoid yet another confrontation about increased statins (which raise BG) I did the 2nd half of the Dave Feldman Protocol (to potentially 'artificially lower my LDL for a couple of days) to coincide with the blood samples being taken. Did it work for me? - Probably, but not hugely. I'm not sure since only did 2nd half i.e. just 1 blood test. Was it worth trying? - Yes, although in the end I saw a less pre-historic GP for discussion of my results. She didn't care about my Cholesterol numbers (not bad by any means) she was more interested that (though sadly not how) I had done what she considered almost impossible in getting my HbA1C from 53 to 45 in a few months without any medication and losing 23lbs without more exercise and without counting Calories. Edited to expand: One perceived problem of LCHF is that while weight (= excess body fat) is being lost, it is normal for LDL levels to rise a fair bit and then reduce (often to lower than at the start) in the weight maintenance phase i.e. when weight is at ideal levels and Blood Glucose levels are good and so the Way Of Eating is no longer targeting the burning of more body fat.
