Well...since Tom made so few posts and then split after this post, we'll never know for sure exactly what happened or why. What has my curiosity going is how someone's triglycerides could go up 25% in a month's time on a low carb diet? To the best of my knowledge, triglycerides need sugar/carbs to be made so where was it coming from? I've heard of total cholesterol going up on low carb and even LDL going up on low carb (although the significance of either of those is debatable), but I've never seen a post besides this one that claimed triglycerides rose on the level of carbs per day that he was reporting. Does that mean it couldn't happen? No....but I'd sure love to see the medical explanation for how it could happen on that level of carbs.
