Cholesterol LCD number way off charts
i have been on the low carb diet for 4 months now and loving it... BUT .... I went to have a cholesterol check yesterday and was shattered to hear that my LDL numbers were off the chart !! It was (in South Africa reading) LDL 6.74!!, my total Cholesterol was 9.22 , HDL 4.4 , trig 0.82. Most disconcerting as I am not sure whether it is this diet which I love and feel so good on? I started having a problem last year but got it down to normal (Ttl chol: 5.0) 4 months ago before LC diet. Now I am not sure whether it is diet: eg dairy (I have yoghurt and cream, coffee with cream and coconut oil as well as the chicken skin, etc. Any suggestions out there?
