Below is a link to a well written article on a runner's experience with a high fat, low carbohydrate diet ( HFLC). I frequently test my lipid levels and can vouch for the dramtic increase in total cholesterol, driven mainly by LDL, when pursuing a HFLC diet. As with the author, my HDL and triglyceride levels were/are extremely favorable and I have the large and more buoyant LDL particles.
I have moved to a more moderate carbohydrate diet, with my carbs in the 100-150g per day. This has allowed me to maintain energy throughout the day, and during exercise and races.
I encourage and advise everyone to play around with the ratios of fat, carbs, and protein to find out what works best for them.
