From what I understand a low carb diet increases triglycerides and HDL. it apparently has a very good effect on lowering cholesterol. Go figure.

Low carb will decrease triglycerides and LDL. Increase HDL.

Just the opposite. It is the only diet that can bring high triglyceride levels down, while increasing HDL levels. The ratio of triglycerides to HDL is the "only" predictor of heart disease and not total cholesterol.

I low carb. My last trig reading was 20.

Not a typo.
