A member asked:
If i eat mostly saturated fat for month (bacon, cream), on a very low carb diet w/ lots of veggies, what should happen to me ? testing blood & weight

Diet changes: This sounds like the very popular Adkins diet. If you maintain this diet and seriously curb carbohydrates, you will likely see a notable weight loss. From a blood testing perspective, I would anticipate an elevation in your total cholesterol and LDL levels which can elevate your cardiac risk long term.
