[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2320159, member: 362123"] Did you fast for the cholesterol test? 12 - 14hrs recommended. Also, was it a complete lipid panel or just a total cholesterol and trigs only test? Also, how long have you been on the LCHF diet? Lipids need to time to adjust to the new way eating. I'd put your weight loss down to the reduction in good healthy fats, these are nutrient dense foods you've cutout. I wouldn't cut them out myself or I'd drop weight quickly also. They are also an essential good source of fatty acids. It seems the GP you spoke with is rather out of date when it comes cholesterol and diet advice. Your body produces 80% of it and the rest comes from diet. Your body will make up the shortfall if you don't consume enough of it from food. And it is essential. Personally I'd never ask a GP for advice on diet. I don't know about your side pain, could be a lot of reasons. Obviously we can't diagnose a problem, but perhaps someone else here will relate to that. [/QUOTE]
