Hi Dr. Rosedale.

If I have familial hypercholesterolemia, your diet, which i read is a high fat moderate protein and low carb diet. is it possible for me to do it? I read that high fat low carb diet usually increase cholesterol and increase LDL for those who does them. Or is there any tweak for your diet that I can do?

Thanks

   The numbers of the so called 'good and bad' cholesterol are quiet irrelevant and what you must do it check your cholesterol particle size, the larger the better this test is called a VAP cholesterol. This diet will increase your cholesterol particle size. There is a great article you can read at http://drrosedale.com/rosedale_writing.htm scroll down to 'cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease'. Also a wonderful interview here as well http://drrosedale.com/blog/2011/11/19/cholesterol-medication-side-e...

   Wishing you the best of health.
