[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2405418, member: 480869"] Oh dear. After your first post I had hope you had an up to date enlightened dr but it seems she doesn’t know which she is. Cholesterol is often high at diagnosis. It’s part and parcel of the metabolic dysfunction package. You need all the figures, not just the total and then you need to learn a bit about it and you’ll see that eating low carb will lower the harmful parts and raise the good parts making the ratios much better. Statins will likely raise blood glucose levels too. Almost everyone that low carbs gets better readings for cholesterol once they’ve done it a while and weight loss has stabilised - without statins. And then there’s a huge debate about if they are even beneficial for heart and cardiovascular health at all. It’s a tick box exercise that too many drs don’t question for each individual. I refused them at the very first mention and haven’t look back as my levels all improved. Many others in here have done likewise. It is your choice to take them or not. Not mine not the drs. Same goes for dairy and red meat. No need to avoid them. In fact the basis of low carb is increasing fats/proteins to compensate for the energy lost from carbs. No wonder you’re miserable and hungry. She is advocating low carb and low fat. Diet Coke is fine for an occasional thing but not ideal as a regular drink. Artificial sweeteners and carbonation have their own issues. [/QUOTE]
