My doctor says my cholesterol is slightly high.
I've never had it checked before, so I'm wondering why its high. I thought low carb would, if anything, lower the bad and increase the good. Plus the specialist (endocrinologist) I saw yesterday kept harping on too much saturated fat being bad for my heart. I wanted to say, "Haven't you watched all those documentaries about sugar?" but I knew it wouldn't change his beliefs.
I guess I'm looking for is a little reassurance that low carb is good for cholesterol.....and perhaps some insight into why it would be high.
