Low Carb Diets Improve Cholesterol Even Without Weight Loss
Sunday June 11, 2006
We’ve known for quite awhile that when people go on low carb diets, good things happen to their blood lipids (FAQ: Low Carb Diets and Cholesterol). But it’s been a question whether the positive changes had to do with the diet or the weight loss. A new study attempted to find out, and discovered that most of the positive changes come from cutting carbohydrates, whether or not the people lose weight. Although studies in the past had similar results, this very well-designed study is a great confirmation. Check out the study.Photo by Leah-Anne Thompson

Very nice job on this. After I lost 42 pounds on the South Beach Diet, not only was I able to quit taking cholesterol medication, but now my cholesterol is the best it’s ever been, even with medication.
Way to go, Kalyn! That’s great news!
