No, doc won’t run them anymore, says I keep busting the curve.....
Lost some weight between checkups about 4 years ago after going low carb. He got excited, figured that would do it, and he could finally wag his finger and give me a talking to.
Nope. LDL in the borderline low category, HDL borderline high.
Anyone thinking you can improve your cholesterol numbers by eating a low fat diet has been deceived and is going the exact wrong direction: carbs, particularly refined sugars, cause bad cholesterol numbers. Healthy fats (wild game, grass fed beef and dairy, fish, free range eggs, avocados, olive oil) will decrease arterial inflammation, which brings down LDL. Increased anti oxidants (berries, salmon, squashes, anything with deep colors) and green vegetables also provide protection.
