Low Carb/carnivore vs. Low Fat/vegetarian
That's me and my sister. I'm the low carb one right? That's why I'm here. My sister has been a low-fat vegetarian for 35 years, since she was in high school. I'm fat (5'7" and 270 pounds), my sister is skinny (6 feet tall, 125 pounds). Recently we both had blood tests done too. Neither was what I would call bad, but my sister has me soundly beat in the blood lipid area too:
Value...Me....Sister
TC......221...210
HDL......58....68
LDL.....161...130
TG.......65....50
So while I think my numbers are not so bad, hers are clearly far better. So clearly low carbing is not the be all and end all of blood lipid numbers! But my sister's doctor *still* wants to put her on statins!
