Lean Mass Hyper Responder
Lean mass hyper responders exhibit unique lipid profiles characterized by high LDL and HDL levels alongside low triglycerides, particularly in individuals following a low-carb ketogenic diet.

Fasting insulin levels are likely low in this group, further emphasizing their metabolic efficiency.In this clip

Which is more important: low LDL or low total cholesterol to HDL ratio?
Typically, my LDL is between 85 and 100. Recently, a doctor recommended that I aim for lower values due to other risk factors. My question is whether it’s right to focus on LDL alone, or is the total cholesterol to HDL ratio more important?
Is this okay in your opinion, or should I focus on lowering my LDL and add more carbs to my diet?
