Yes, I went from 148 to less than 100 mmol LDL. There is also new research that the Friedewald calculations to enumerate LDL when triglycerides are below 100 actually overstates them as well based upon two studies (Iranian and American), My cholesterol could not be better as of my last physical in December.

Hi, Great video! Do you recall how long it took for your HDL to go from 35 to 58. I am trying to get my HDL up there like yours. Thanks in advance.

I only check my cholesterol annually, so it only took one year to recognize that change. It may have actually happened sooner than that.

Thats great, mine was similar to what your’s was 38 so this is a big inspiration to get to those levels.Is Dark Chocolate allowed on the Atkins Diet? I usually have like 1 or 2 squares of the 86% Cacao a day for its HDL raising benefits.

Not on Induction, but you can add it afterwords. Cocoa and unsweetened chcocolate are allowed, but the cocoa butter even in 86% make it a weight for OWL food item.

actually the better question is how does the age of death connect to cholesterol level. low cholesterol levels are also associated with increased cancer risk. i don’t dismiss high cholesterol as potentially a sign of something wrong, but saying that someone will die because of high cholesterol levels (and therefore poison them with drugs) is like saying a person with a brain tumour dies because of the headache it creates. people with “perfect cholesterol levels” have bypass surgery. why?

That “50% of people that have heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels.” is not an argument that supports your claim that there is no connection between cholesterol and heart disease. The interesting correlation is: how common is heart disease among those whose cholesterol levels are high vs low.

i agree totally. i was referring to cholesterol levels not intake. if we consume lots of cholesterol our liver will produce less. i agree high cholesterol levels are a sign. considering the many roles cholesterol plays in our body, not the least of which is as an anti-oxidant. levels matter, but as you suggest, as a symptom, not a cause. it no more causes heart attacks than headaches cause brain tumours. and thanks for your vids and your honesty. a good dose of motivation for me.
