Do you eat commercialy raised meats or game & free range products? Are you
strictly PALEO? I wish I could eat like you but my cholesterol goes up on a
high SF diet which is mostly commercial meats, but I've never been a strict
PALEO either. I came to this WOE via Atkins and then the ZONE. However the
other components of my LIPID profile are greatly improved when I increase
fat of any kind the only negative is the LDL which only seems to be affected
by eating more fish. I was very interested in Todd Moodys' cholesterol saga
whic I read in the archives. It seems his experience is very similar to my own.
