Ok, I started low carbing in the spring of 1997. At that time I had very high triglycerides, high LDL and low HDL and extremely low blood sugar. I'm female, 46 years old.
I eat a low to moderate (60-80 grams per day) diet.
Here are my numbers I got back today:
cholesterol: 186. normal is 0-200
chol/hdl ratio: 3.3 normal is 0.0-4.5
hdl: 56 normal is 45-100
ldl: 101.4 normal is 0.0-130
triglycerides: 147 normal is 35-160
blood glucose: 90 normal is 64-112
blood pressure this morning was 110/66
and this is all with high doses of prednisone which tend to make my counts a bit off.
so, as you can see, after 12 years of low carbing, I am VERY healthy and plan on staying this way!
