It's normal for LDL to go up as you burn body fat and nothing to worry about as the fraction will be large fluffy rather than small, dense easily oxidised. The answer is not statins and it will take time for things to stabilise. Your numbers were going in the right direction, just carry on and try to relax.
Have a look here for some encouragement, (and l'd advise watching the other video's in the series):
Dear Anup, Thanks for your comment. Because I had palpitation and BP shot up; I was advised to revert BP medicines. However, I am free from Diabetic medication.
Yes, LIPIDS are taken when I am on LCHF for 5 weeks when I had palpitation. Weight dropped from 70 kg to 65 kg and now stabilising @ 66.7 kg.
I am pure vegetarian and my fat source is only Butter, Ghee and cheese,
I am confused, because whether palpitation is due fat intake or BP issue?
I am now stepping into the 10th week of 100%LCHF diect.
During the first 4 weeks; I have fully adjusted to the diet.
But what I experience is feeling very light, less energy.
As my HBA1c dropped from 6.6 to 5.5 and sugar reading are hitting 70's and 60's i have added curd and 50g (Low GI rice in my diet. Though Allopathic Dr.s not in favour of LCHF; one of the Dr. says; you can continue the diet; but do not shed any more weight. Muscle loss is not good. I am always thin, not well built, but tall 70Kg to 66 Kg now.
My typical diet is as below"-
Morning: Tomato soup with fresh cream and Salad with Cheese, olive oil smeared
Lunch: Any home made subji's with Salad and cheese
Dinner: Salad, 50g carb, home made subji, Cheese etc.
Weekly thrice Greens and Dal will be there
I use Olive oil. Butter, Ghee, Coconut oil
In addition, I add in my diet Raw Coconut pieces, Walnuts,
badam, pista, Black Tea with Butter.
Fruits; One pear or Kiwi or few pieces of Papaya
During the LCHF diet, I break my fast after 12 hours of Dinner. However, I do consume liquids and Black tea in between.Please advise whether it is correct?
Also review my intake and advise if I have to improve any thing?
Also clarify adding Egg in the menu will be beneficial?
My whole objective is not to lose further weight and keep up my energy levels and BS at check.
Note: As I told earlier, I am on BP medication only.
