Mine is sugar and carbs. I once was on a severely lowfat vegetarian diet
for 9-10 months, lost 20 lbs but at the end of it, my triglycerides were
sky high, and LDL was way up, HDL very low. At the time, my doctor said
high triglycerides are a far more important indicator of heart attack
risk than total cholesterol, particularly for women. This doctor did not
believe I was not eating fats, and kept telling me to cut them out.
OTOH, a couple years later, after a short stint of strict Atkins (very
high fat, lots of protein, no carbs, no sugar) my triglycerides dropped
167 points, HDL was up, LDL a bit lower. Overall cholesterol numbers
stayed about the same.

I'm curious about the high readings for cholesterol and triglycerides
that others in this group are experiencing. What do some of you think
the cause is? For me personally the cause is...decaffinated coffee.
When I get off of it, my readings have fallen to normal within 6
months. Then I got back on it, I was using 2 scoops of coffee to 2
cups water, once or twice a day, and my triglycerides were really
high. Have heard caffinated coffee will affect cholesterol &
triglycerides less because of chemicals they use todecaffinatee coffee.
