| Being one to avoid the extremes, my philosophy is that go lower carbs. More importantly, eat healthy carbs. That means cutting out the processed carbs, no enriched flour or corn syrup. Avoid the starch rices and potatoes.
As far as cholesterol goes, my belief is that eggs are fine. For us, the bad carbs cause the issue as it hampers our food processing ability. I had good LDL and HDL numbers but the triglycerides were very high, a change to a better diet and now I have good numbers.
Your ability to live healthily with a certain carb ratio is also dependent on you body makeup. I am big boned , not the term for being fat. A doctor taking an ex-ray of my leg called it a baseball bat. For me, higher protein and fat is ok for my system than a person with a small frame, Even if you weigh 300lbs. you may be small framed.
