[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2203220, member: 245335"] As you are already low carb I don't have to mention it, although as I have I can say that for me, when I started low carb my total cholesterol dropped a couple of points. This drop actually encouraged me to throw away the statins and my TC has never been higher than 4, except for when I introduce full fat yogurt, cream in coffee and more red meat into my diet. As soon as I cut out the fat, down comes my TC. As I'm overweight the calorie reduction is no bad thing as I tend to gain when consuming more fat. Even when on a fattier diet my calorie intake is less than 1500 (BMR 2300, I wish!). It might be that for a thin person, fat reduction isn't so easy. Two years? That went by quickly. I hope you're enjoying life back in the UK. [/QUOTE]
