Hi. Yes, just keep going with the LCHF diet and the figures should improve. BTW fasting should be between 10 and 14 hours.

Perhaps we are at cross purposes here, but I thought that a lipid blood test only requires an 8hr fast.
While a fast to kick the metabolism into Ketosis mode may need to be as much as 16hrs. So I am wondering where you get the 10 to 14hrs fast from and what is meant to be its purpose?

My doctor told me to fast for 16 hours.
