Hi, Just found this forum while googling cholesterol results on a HFLC diet. It looks like a great resource!
I’ve actually been eating HFLC (often well under 20g carbs per day) for about 14 years now but have only just had my first ever cholesterol test.
I’m 36 years old and it’s a bit of a shock when the Doc starts talking about prescribing Statins so I was happy to come across these forums and the cholesterolcode website which goes someway to normalising the result.
Based on the small amount of reading I’ve done it actually seems like I may have made the LDL result even higher than it might have been by eating low calories (with almost zero carb) for a few days before the test. I hadn’t even considered that this could impact the results.
Anyway, I plan to follow the “Feldman Protocol” for a retest in a few months time.
Total Chol: 7.9 mmol/L
Triglyceride: 0.9 mmol/L
HDL - C: 1.5 mmol/L
LDL - C: 6.0 mmol/L
NON HDL-C: 6.4 mmol/L
