[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1861074, member: 345386"] Ian, if you really are very fearful of lipids, have you considered having some in depth blood work done? I feel certain, bearing in mind you proximity (by County) to Addenbrookes, that there will be plenty of Lipidologists available for private consultations. I feel way more relaxed about lipids, and I'm sure you could easily have apoplexy at my frank numbers, but all my proportions are very good. They just add up to a number much of the NHS feels unable to be reconciled with. At one stage, I was offered a Lipidology referral, but I deferred the decision as I was about to trot off overseas again for a few months. By the time I got back, my GP had done some further reading/learning and changed her view on my numbers, and now focuses purely on the components and ignores the total. I wouldn't try to persuade you that "my way is the right way. It's the right way for me, for now, and I accept if I misjudged things I'll have to live with the consequences, but I think if you have great concerns, then lifting the lid, to the next level might serve you well. I do feel concerned that you have lost the joy in food, and that's a bit of a worry, as food and our ways of eating is so embedded in how we live. How we interact socially with others and on so many other levels. [/QUOTE]
