When fat adapted and eating low carb you make more VLDL which traffics fat throughout the body. Fat is your main fuel when eating low carb/ketogenic. VLDL's become LDL once fat is removed. The way to tell if there is a problem is if triglycerides are low. If triglycerides are low, that means your body is properly using the fat that are in the VLDL. Then with A1c low and insulin low you know your system is metabolically healthy and properly using available fuels. I've had Lab B numbers for close to 10 years. I've had two CAC scans 5 years apart and my CAC in 2020 was better than my scan in 2015.
I’m not sure which labs are best. Still learning. However I do know I want to reduce my risk of heart disease. So I’ll follow your lead. I’ve added all the healthy fats/oils to my diet for years and eliminated the rest, at least when I’m cooking at home
I so appreciate you addressing this issue in this way. I’m a math person so I look at things that way. I’m similar to Lab B ….but better with a lower TC, lower LDL, better HDL and similar Trig. But my LDL and TC are ‘out of range’. I’ve been to docs that want to start cholesterol meds even though I’ve brought up issues that you’ve taught me. And that my ratio was better than 1/2 avg risk. You told me once that with my nos and good HDL, if a dr ever wanted to start me on cholesterol meds, run for the hills… 😊. Yeah, I pretty much did that..

I say B is the better scenario. I would rather reduce my risk of heart disease then lower my cholesterol.

Love the look of the wings! Is the Air Fryer hard to clean as I’ve heard?
I believe you’ve taught us that B has the best lab results. Heart health is the goal!
The goal is to decrease risk of heart disease. High LDL is okay for a fat burning keto machine…Lab B.
B of course!
I like Lab B.
