So all those years of the recommended low fat, high carb eating got me cholesterol over 600 and triglycerids over 700. I even did 2 years as a vegetarian and still my lipid profile was dangerously off. More than once the doctors wanted to put me in the hospital and pump me full of drugs to lower my lipids.

Now after 3 years of eating loads of pork fat, butter and as much as a dozen of eggs (and sometimes more) a week plus keeping my carbs to a reasonable level I just got my blood work back.

My A1c was 5.3
Fasting glucose; 92
Total Cholesterol 200
Triglycerids; 66 which I understand is actually considered low.

My HDL is 111
and my LDL 76

Apparently my body thrives on fats! Thank goodness I never took those stupid statin drugs.

Anyway, had to share my great news!
