Thank you so much for your thorough and thoughtful responses! I really appreciate the time you took to explain everything in such detail. The higher LDL levels don’t concern me as much anymore, especially after reading your insights, but I do agree that focusing on improving triglycerides is a good next step. Regarding the triglycerides, I don’t think I’ve been overeating. My diet has been pretty strict and consistent: I usually stick to a simple menu of 4 eggs, 60 grams of bacon, and about 300 grams of ground beef with some cheese most days, with measured butter to hit around 1700 to 1800 kcal. So, I think the idea that the higher triglycerides might be related to weight loss makes a lot of sense to me as well + missing the other healthy foods. I’ve tried various organ meats, but unfortunately, I really dislike the taste, so that's been a bit of a challenge. I also don't particularly care for fish, so that’s not ideal either for a carnivore diet. That being said, I’ve bought omega supplements for the omega oils and looking for the others, and I'll start incorporating a bit more fiber and mix up my meat choices — less beef every day (against inflammation) and more fatty chicken, as you suggested and more fish. I’ll get my blood work done in 1 or 2 months to see where things stand. Thanks again for all your advice, it’s been really helpful!

Since other posts mainly talk about mg/dl. Older scan Glucose: 5.3 mmol/L × 18 = 95.4 mg/dL Cholesterol: 5.5 mmol/L × 38.67 = 213.7 mg/dL LDL: 3.5 mmol/L × 38.67 = 135.3 mg/dL HDL: 1.4 mmol/L × 38.67 = 54.1 mg/dL Triglyceride: 1.2 mmol/L × 88.57 = 106.3 mg/dL Recent scan with carnivore Glucose: 4.6 mmol/L × 18 = 82.8 mg/dL Cholesterol: 10.9 mmol/L × 38.67 = 421.1 mg/dL LDL: 8.2 mmol/L × 38.67 = 317.1 mg/dL HDL: 1.3 mmol/L × 38.67 = 50.3 mg/dL Triglyceride: 1.8 mmol/L × 88.57 = 159.4 mg/dL 163.1 pounds and approximately 6 feet 1 inch

also my BSE went from 2 (mm/u) to 38 And if it adds anything of importance: I weigh 74 kilo with length of 186 cm

Hi there! My name is Justin, I’ve noticed a lot of discussions around high cholesterol levels, but I’m still a bit unsure whether my latest blood work results are something to be concerned about. I’m 34 years old and have been following a low-carb/keto diet for about 10 years. My blood work has generally been fine, with cholesterol a little on the higher side, which I’ve assumed is normal given my diet. In January, I switched to a carnivore diet to help break a weight-loss plateau. I’m also quite active, weightlifting 2-3 times a week and aiming for 10-15k steps a day. My weightless journey is finally going well! around 10 kilo in 3 months and I'm almost at my ideal body weight. My most recent blood work (from around 2023) while on keto was generally okay. I’ll share those results here, but I’m more concerned about my new blood work after three months on carnivore: (mmo per liter) Glucose 5.3 Cholesterol 5.5 LDL 3.5 HDL 1.4 Triglyceride 1.2 recent result: Glucose 4.6 Cholesterol 10.9 LDL 8,2 HDL 1.3 Triglyceride 1.8 The LDL even felt outside the chart they provided with the test results (goes to 8) I primarily eat eggs, grass-fed butter, -beef, -steaks, and bacon. I’m starting to feel concerned about these results, especially since I’ve come across conflicting information on the subject. If anyone has any insights and would be willing to take a look at my results, I would really appreciate it!
