After having lost 60lbs on a low-carb diet, my HDL was increased, Triglycerides were almost nil and my LDL dropped, and my blood pressure stabilized. Unfortunately, I ran into the new situation: a "fatty liver". I understand liver biopsies are considered among those in the medical world as routine, but aren't they also considered invasive? Are the really necessary? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a low-carb/fat diet instead, with a balance there somewhere? I am intolerant to carbs, so for me, there's no such thing as a low-carb diet - now I have to find them in salads, nuts, and veggies. Eating fats, however, as some of these diets encourage produces negative health effects far worse than taking too long to lose those unhealthy pounds! Isn't there a balance somewhere?
