Just making it all worse. Drop those carbs and then you can eat more fat. Some do better with Mediterranean fats over saturated fats. I have done both.  High animal fat, red meat, butter etc. And lower animal/ saturated fat. My total cholesterol was higher on the animal fats but so was my HDL and trigs lower. All RATIOS were ideal. On the more Mediterranean fats, my total was lower but again, ALL ratios ideal. As long as your HDL I’d high and trigs low you’ll most likely have the light fluffy heart protective cholesterol rather than the small artery clogging ones that come from carbs.</blockquote>
