What Does This Cholesterol Result Indicate Despite Being On Fenofibrate?
Just got my cholesterol results. 46 years old. Results: Total 226, 162 LDL 42 HDL. I m currently on a low-carb high fat diet and have been taking Fenofibrate. Doctor wants to raise dosage of Fenofibrate, which I m fine with, but is my cholesterol truly that high?

Hello,
Yes, low carb diets are great but in some cases result in elevated cholesterol levels. You need exercise to increase your LDL. Consider more protein, fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and less fat.
