Multiple studies show that low-carb, high-fat diets tend to shift LDL particles toward larger, more buoyant LDL (pattern A). These particles are considered less atherogenic than small, dense LDL (pattern B), typical of insulin resistance.Therefore, while LDL-C concentration may rise, LDL particle number (apoB) or non-HDL cholesterol may not rise proportionally — and inflammation markers (hs-CRP, TG/HDL ratio) often fall. <a href="https://www.scvc.co.uk/metabolic-health/overview-what-keto-and-atkins-diets-do/">Read full blog</a>
