I've been low carbing for 14 months and when I had my cholesterol test done in March this year, my total cholesterol had gone up to 7.3 mmol/l (I think that's about 280 in US speak!), however, all my other ratios and levels were very good.

I'm hoping that this will settle down - maybe my body is taking longer to get used to the higher fat diet - and I am eating more fish and taking supplements to help.

ANYWAY! .... I have also been suffering from problems with my memory - can't find words, forget things I thought of a moment ago, general "fog" in my thinking, etc etc. Although this has been a problem since before low carbing, I have read that high cholesterol readings have been linked to problems with memory. Anybody else experience this?
