What you want is the ratio of Triglycerides to HDL so yours is a very healthy 1.42. If you haven’t done so please visit Dave Feldman’s website https://cholesterolcode.com/. Plug our numbers into the calculator there to learn more about yourself. https://cholesterolcode.com/report/

Triglycerides are healthy

Ratio is healthy too.

HDL is well above minimum and excellent

No VLDL?

I would say you’re doing great, these are good numbers from what I see. Cholesterol and LDL are often higher than what’s thought to be healthy in the context of a standard diet when you’re eating ketogenic food. This alone isn’t an indication of increased Cardiovascular Disease. My LDL went to 290 recently. :cowboy_hat_face:

All drugs have horrible side effects. My doctor told me that my cholesterol was sky high, but at the same time she said - there is no risk, given my weight, age, and activity level. So… it’s not just a test number.

You should feel upset. Your doctor works for you, and should not dictate how you eat. Unless of course they tell you to cut the carbs :innocent:

The biggest indicator is… How do you feel?

If you feel good, let’s Keep Calm and Keto On, shall we?

(Jeanine) #29

Thank you. I thought my numbers were pretty good too! I’m looking into another dr

Isn’t there a list of low carb knowledgeable Drs somewhere? Maybe worth researching. Was it on Dietdoctor?

How do I find that number?

Everyone judges us

On my labs it’s the first thing listed on a lipids profile.

(Jeanine) #34

On it👍🏻

(Jeanine) #35

Just checked… not there

Interesting, I thought it was standard these days. Maybe it was the cheap version and not an NMR panel.
