Hi James,
Thanks for stopping by a year later 🙂 with your good news. I wonder if your stats are current...did you lose more weight or happy and healthy whatever stable weight you are now?

And just out of cholesterol curiosity, you may find some new experiments looking at cholesterol as an "energy delivery system" interesting. The engineer "proving an inversion pattern" is a good speaker. His website explaining cholesterol on a LC diet, and the "Feldman protocol" to manage short term results. http://cholesterolcode.com
I haven’t had a lipid test since I did the CAC, so can’t personally attest it works, but just find all of Dave's work fascinating. Big pharma has been selling a multi-billion dollar drug to lower a number that moves around rapidly in response to what you eat and the energy you need.

Here's one thread on it: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=477759
