How Much Did My LDL Increase When I Was on a Low Carb High Fat Diet?
LZ Granderson: I'm comfortable sharing and have been sharing virtually all my data. My LDL the so called bad cholesterol around 120 to 130 most of my life which if you look at population averages is right about at the middle, especially for males at that time. And it had jumped to something more in the neighborhood of around 240 to 50. So that that unintuitively. Those going on low carb who saw the highest levels of LDL like myself tended to not just be metabolically healthy but tended to be leaner. This would also lead me towards the phenotype you mentioned earlier lean mass hyper responders.
