Morning all.
I'm a bit worried about my current cholesterol levels (9.1 and increased from 7.5 since diagnosis and embarking on LCHF diet). I want to get this under control asap and would like to avoid statins if possible. My questions are:
1). Is it normal for cholesterol to rise like this at the start of LCHF and,
2). will it 'go back to normal' if I just carry on with the diet as is and,
3). What does everyone else do to regulate cholesterol? I had porridge for breakfast this morning and my post prandial reading was 16.3, so I wont be having that again!
Looking forward to your replies........
