[QUOTE="msmi1970, post: 1016361, member: 129795"] Hi [USER=96654]@PaulinaB[/USER]. My Total Cholesterol was 7 prior to LCHF. After going on LCHF, it fluctuates between 9-10. Triglycerides & HDL are good. Every other "health" marker has dramatically improved. My last HBA1C was 5.4. My NAFLD is gone. I have lost 6 and a half stone. BP & Heart Rate have returned to late teen levels. :) not needed any meds for this. point is...i will never leave LCHF. Truly wish I had discovered this 30 years ago. The merits of cholesterol as an useful predictor for CVD would yield an unending discussion. Prior to LCHF, my CRP levels were off the charts & in to the next room. I suspect it was due to chronic, systemic inflammation as a result of decades of rampant, uncontrolled hyperglycemia. This may be why my liver is producing too much LDL. After giving LCHF a year to correct this "possible" imbalance (i say "possible" because I am not entirely convinced it is a major problem), it has "failed". Hence, I intend to intervene with a certain herb that has shown be improve TC/LDL hopefully to about 6. I will not take statins. You really need to evaluate the whole picture and decide for yourself. All The Best. Mo p/s the only other thing i have not tried is exercise as i was trying to prove that exercise is BAD for weight loss in the obese. pp/s i read somewhere that 3 out of 10 people who go on LCHF raise their cholesterol. Whether this is necessarily a bad thing is the question, i suppose. [/QUOTE]
