My family has a history of high cholesterol and everyone else except me is on Lipitor. Before going raw, right after I went vegan, it was just below 200 with a high HDL. I seem to be craving fats it seems and certainly did not function well on a lowfat diet. Actually, when I tried the 10% fat diet one time, my liver went crazy and my cholesterol went through the roof so that didn't work for me. I ate a fatty meal tonight and now feel MUCH more focused and relaxed. I've been very unfocused lately since the fast and wanting heavy foods. Does anyone eat a decent amount of fat, have cholesterol problems but finds the raw fats are OK? I've read that fats do NOT stick to the arteries as long as they are raw. Since my fast my circulation has been much better and I don't want to ruin that either!! BTW, my dr has told me to not to worry about my cholesterol since I'm underweight and have low blood pressure, and no other symptoms of heart disease.
Just wondering if I should listen to my body because I think my cooked food cravings are now really fat cravings.
