[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1951613, member: 104933"] It is fairly normal for the LDL to shoot up, especially if you are experiencing weight loss. I have seen it explained that fat that was ‘trapped’ in the fat cells is released into the bloodstream as fuel. When weight loss stops, in the vast majority of people LDL goes back down. In any event, following Keto your Trigs should be going down and the LDL should be changing to the ‘large fluffy’ variety that is not a risk to cardio-vascular health, so your risk score will probably be reducing. You can get LDL particle size actually measured and LDL levels actually measured but I think you have to get it done privately. I believe that if Trigs are lower than 1 you need to use the Iranian Equation to more accurately estimate LDL. [/QUOTE]
