@the.meat.family6: LDL isn't the enemy! 🤯 Stop the fear of high LDL on a low-carb diet. We’ve been focusing on the wrong number for years! The truth about heart health is far more nuanced than a single cholesterol count. What truly matters is the quality and pattern of the particles, not the total amount. Here's what your doctor should be looking at: Particle Size: Are your LDL particles large and fluffy (A-pattern, harmless) or small and dense (B-pattern, linked to higher risk)? It's the small, sticky particles (often related to excess carbs/sugar) that can pose a problem. The VLDL/Triglyceride Connection: High Triglycerides (fat in the blood, often elevated by a high-carb diet) are a major red flag. The Crucial Ratio: The Triglyceride/HDL Ratio is a powerful predictor of heart disease risk—far more reliable than total LDL. You want this ratio to be low. The takeaway: When you adopt a nutrient-dense, low-carb lifestyle (like Keto or Carnivore), your LDL may rise, but it typically shifts to the protective, large-and-fluffy pattern, while your triglycerides drop and your HDL improves. Don't treat the number, treat the cause. #ldl #cholesterolhealth #hearthealth #lowcarbliving #carnivore
