A woman who diets and cuts out all fats but still eats carbohydrates. Will she lower her LDL? HDL?

  #2

i guess she should lower her LDL. as well as HDL .
may be iam wrong

  #3

I think she will lower LDL but HDL may or may not.

  #4

chylomicrons are blood lipoproteins produced from dietary fat. It is the VLDLs that are produced mainly from dietary carbohydrate. IDL and LDL are produced from VLDL. Thus, HER LDL level will still BE HIGH.
