First, if you want to get all that fat and fool the test, I'd suggested drinking it in form of butter and coconut oil. It will be the easiest way and most accurate measure. However, I would strongly suggest you get a good normal baseline by following the lab's procedures. Without a base line all this other stuff is meaningless - Also, you don't have to ingest statins, that's your choice. So if you have "terrible" results, at least you'll know and then can start fooling around with gaming the system.
It's probably easy for me to say this since I have not had a doctor advise me to take statins. You do what you think is right and I'd support you with whatever that is.
I just got mine done yesterday. It was coming off or regular eating but I was on a fasting day (36hrs) so take it for what it's worth (not that much really) - One of the markers that some people pay attention to is the Triglyceride:HDL ratio - I was slightly under 1 - Now watch, I'll croak of a heart attack soon from the news
Cholesterol - 198 mg/dL recommended <200 mg/dL
Triglycerides - 56 mg/dL recommended <150 mg/dL
HDL Cholesterol - 57 mg/dL recommended >39 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol Calculated - 130 mg/dL recommended <100 mg/dL
Non HDL Cholesterol - 141 mg/dL recommended <130 mg/dL
A graph - I think the first datapoint was before I started LCHF style of eating...
Build up some momentum and eating LCHF and see if it's sustainable for you. Then when you've got a good base to build from, start making slight changes if you want to please your doctors or insurance companies. These come SECOND after your good health.
I wish you well and many happy success!
