Toni57, your numbers aren't bad. What were they before this WOE? Have you ever read Protein Power by Drs Mary and Michael Eades? To keep your lipid profile normal, you must keep your insulin / glucose ratio balanced. Balanced insulin levels stimulates the production of the hormone, glucagon, which stimulates your system to rid itself of excess cholesterol and triglycerides. You can find more information on the "Ying-Yang" of the metabolism on pps 32-38 in the Protein Power book.
By reading this info one will realize that consumption of fats and cholesterol does not cause the build up of these in the arteries.
