Non-HDL cholesterol may be more relevant than LDL cholesterol for individuals on a low-carb diet with higher triglyceride levels.

“and how much do we find those altered lipid profiles associate with disease particularly the buildup of plaque in the arteries as atherosclerosis that's a relevant question and and so I know I kind of took some time to really drill down into that but that's the that's the starting point I have to get better at getting everyone to uh start with is that the experiments that I've done and that we've seen going on in the low carp community that change these lipid levels particularly when they seem to line up with each other right when we're talking about the Triad we're seeing so many people go low carb see that their LDL Rises alongside their HDL going up in their Tri glycerides going down with the latter two typically being associated with better healthier metabolism is that relevant When comparing that lipid profile to profiles that are typical of poor metabolism particularly lipid metabolism and my answer to that question is yes it's I I think that”

“but there's one problem with non HDL cholesterol that I definitely want to bring up for people who are on a low-carb diet if you're going to be powered much more by triglycerides it directly literally triglycerides being brought to you in B LDLs then that is going to be relevant”
