Who paid for the study?

[CaptainK]

Opining about the correct diet is the same as opining about the stock market.

A million different opinions and a doomsday's predict for each one.

Umm, being hugely fat will have a negative effect on your heart health. Eating >20g carbs a day and no starches or sugar will dump the weight off of you and get you down so your joints and heart are better off.

You could have easily lost 30 pounds...

No matter what you do, you’re gonna die.

[King_Corey]

Sorry, wrong operator LESS than 20g carbs in a day

[trisham]

Good question.

[DesertRhino]

Monsanto, the wheat farming lobby, and Pepperidge Farm breads.

Remember that everyone who ate only health food during the nineteenth century is dead now.

[wastoute]

The people who sell grains. Did you need to ask?

[wally_bert]

I’ve cut a lot, especially bread and lost maybe 10 pounds in the past few weeks.

Slow go but still going.

I've managed to lose 35 lbs. since March - did Nutrisystem for a couple months, now kind of a paleo keto thing but still have some carbs three times a week.
I believe eliminating ice cream, sweets and soda pop may have been helpful also. Just don't take my beef jerky and pepperoni.

[dfwgator]

I make Keto Ice Cream. It’s not bad, enough to the point where I don’t miss the real thing.

[trisham]

My heart is normal. I’m the only person in my family who is on a permanent low-carb diet and only one of 7 siblings without heart disease.

[wastoute]

It is kind of funny. People are looking for esoteric “markers of risk” that they can hope to manage. Current wisdom holds that decreasing your LDL cholesterol is the biggest risk and the HDL, Triglycerides are lessor risks that can also be managed. Once you get down to markers of inflammation and theoretical, esoteric risks trying to manage that while failing to manage “the big ones” is just stupid.

[Nationale7]

Oh how I have tried to achieve that...

Congrats. I started Tuesday on my diet and plan to lose 10 pounds in a week. A little ambitious but I can do it.

I've got a friend like that. She comes from a family who all have died young (40-60) of heart disease. She's been on a low carb/high protein diet since her second and last heart attack. Not only has she outlived her relatives, her heart problems disappeared.

a key blood biomarker strongly associated with heart disease...

Possibly bad, but by itself it’s almost completely meaningless. I’m not sure about a loose paleo diet, but a low carb diet significantly alters metabolism, how lipids and glycierides are used, and alters a significant portion of the krebs (citric acid) cycle, among other things. In other words, having a higher bio-marker that means one thing in the S.A.D. (standard American diet) could mean something completely different to someone with decrease insulin levels on a fat-generating glycogenic metabolism, and less ability to metabolize fats.
