What was your total cholesterol? Do you eat alot of dairy and/or meat? Anyone in your family with cholesterol issues?
"Naturally Skinny" has nothing to do with cholesterol or being healthy; diet, heredity and activity DO.
In my opinion, the protein supplements and elevated LDL have NO correlation, though these supplements CAN be harsh on the kidneys IF taken in excess.
Hi,
Unfortunately, Whey protein does contain cholesterol and in some instances quite a lot. However, when companies market these products they do not want to advertise this fact. If you are consuming 3 scoops of this stuff daily like I used to over a prolonged period of time, its going to raise your Bad (LDL) Choloesterol to the levels you are showing.
Google "whey protein cholesterol" and a number of forums will discuss this matter in more details esp the body building ones. If you want a cholesterol free protein source eat raw egg whites with milk.
Hope this helps
In my opinion, the numbers are fine, however, to get a complete picture, you need to let us know your total cholesterol readings as well.
