The reason those individuals saw a reduction in their cholesterol and triglycerides is because they EXERCISED. Exercise - and not a reduction in carbs - reduces a person's triglycerides and cholesterol levels.

Many people, including myself, lose weight by eating a well-balanced diet which includes carbs. Exercise, however, is the key.

I wonder if any studies have been done on those who eat a low carb, high protein and high fat diet who do NOT exercise. I'd like to know what their cholesterol and triglyceride levels are under those conditions.

But there is still another problem with any type of "diet" study. Our bodies are different. Genetics plays a big role. For example, some eat all the "right foods" and still have high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They stuggle to maintain normal ranges even on medication. Yet others can eat anything they want to and maintain a healthy blood profile.

These studies are also unreliable because it is doubtful all participants have the same genetic make-up and metabolism rate. Only then could you get a true, scientific comparison.
