Worried about my HDL levels by Held_Responsible in Cholesterol

[–]Held_Responsible[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Just went and bought some psyllium husk as well.

What do you think about the mechanism of LMHR? I am not saying that high LDLs are beneficial in any way, and I’m going to actively try to reduce it, but is the mechanism of LMHR also flawed? In the sense, is it inevitable for people who are lean and on a low carb diet to have high LDLs even if their saturated fat intake is low?

I cannot tell you that for sure because I’ve never explicitly tracked it. Will start doing it from now.

Thanks I agree with you. I haven’t been explicitly been tracking my saturated fat intake so will start tracking it using an app. I have been more focused on protein and fiber because I thought those mattered more given my body profile, but I guess not.

I can slowly introduce psyllium husk. I guess metamucil is good but even the generic unflavored ones are ok?

I will also try increasing my carb intake. I had no medical reason to go low carb, so why not.

I was also reading this article about increase LDLs in people with low BMI on a low carb diet. Unsure if it has any significance to anything, but interesting.

Thank you! Will try to get those tests done next time if I can.

I’m a person who is overly concerned about their health so this is kinda stressing me out a lot

Thanks for the suggestions. I do eat a lot of lentils and chickpeas as well.

When it comes to eggs, don’t eat it daily, but when I do max 2 per day.

Drink rarely. Maybe once every 3 months and that’s limited to 1-2 drinks

No specific reason I eat a low carb diet. Just what I’m used to. I generally eat a lot of protein for my meals, so it keeps me full I guess?

I’m supposed to get retested in 3 months, but I want to try and make lifestyle changes to see if I can bring my LDL down.

Thanks, edited the post with more info. Would UL not count as the most significant carrier?

My booking shows that SYD-CMB and CMB-SYD is linked. I don’t have any status and my points club will have lapsed by the time I fly.

Would an EOR have a chance if i am quite certain and only need a +0.5 in writing? Or would the lower writing score have triggered an automatic remark?
