Plan: General low-carb
Stats: 197/166/160 Female 5'7"

Progress: 84%
Unhappy Frustrating problem: xanthelasma

I started getting these after going into menopause. At the time I was eating high carbs and some fat; a mixed diet. I read that it can be exacerbated by dietary fat so I started eating a HCLF diet with a lot of starch. This did cause the bumps to start to go down, but it also caused me to feel very funny in my head, to gain weight and my blood sugar and blood pressure to go up.

So I went back to the only thing that's ever helped with weight gain and keeping blood sugar steady: a low-carb diet. But then the bumps started to slowly get bigger again! My ldl and cholesterol is high-ish (in the 200s), but it's been like this ever since I started getting it tested in my 30s. I'm in my 50s now. I wish there was something I can do for them besides surgery or painful wart remover solution.
