Total cholesterol low? 1

Posted on September 22, 2010 by lowfatdg

In December ’08, my total cholesterol was 180. I’ve been on a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate diet since and my total cholesterol plummeted to 137.

My lipid panel improved dramatically in every other way, but the lab work marked my total cholesterol as "low" (reference range 150-200). I’ve been reading about low total cholesterol and an increased risk of stroke. My doctor didn’t seem to think this was a problem at all, but I’m just wondering if any of you have low total cholesterol and what your doctors thought.

Thanks!
Thanks, Dave. My LDL is 81 and my HDL is 42. My triglycerides are 70. Is that all right?

so if low fat diet raises triglycerides but low carb moderate fat diets increase cholesterol, WTF can I eat? 3

This is getting ridiculous. I used to do a low carb diet, which is higher fat than your typical low fat low calorie diet. Well, my cholesterol got way too high, but my triglycerides were good, so to lower my cholesterol I went vegetarian, and eat small amounts of bread, and plenty of fruits and veggies, now my cholesterol is low, and my triglycerides are very high at 200. What the hell am I supposed to eat? I mean if I can’t be healthy eating vegetarian and working out, then I must be doomed.
