[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 234646, member: 38594"] This is for the people that want to increase their HDL. I am not on TRT and my usual HDL is around 60 mg/dL. About 1.5months ago, I started a diet with a high cheese consumption: 8 oz cheese daily = about 900 calories, out of about 2000 total daily calories (my diet is mainly cheese, rice, bread, vegetables). I started it because I needed a concentrated calorie source, other than sugar (I react to sugar). I typically eat Provolone or Muenster cheese. Below is the surprising cheese effect on my lipid panel: [TABLE][TR][TD] [/TD] [TD] No cheese [/TD] [TD] High cheese [/TD] [TD] Normal range [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] HDL [/TD] [TD] 63 [/TD] [TD] 83 [/TD] [TD] > 59 mg/dL [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] LDL, calc. [/TD] [TD] 93 [/TD] [TD] 97 [/TD] [TD] < 100 mg/dL [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] Total Chol. [/TD] [TD] 174 [/TD] [TD] 192 [/TD] [TD] < 200 mg/dL [/TD][/TR] [TR][TD] Triglycerides [/TD] [TD] 93 [/TD] [TD] 61 [/TD] [TD] < 100 mg/dL [/TD][/TR][/TABLE] I was also on different HIV drugs, but I do not believe they effect HDL that much. My typical HDL is about 60 mg/dL and the highest it's ever been before the high cheese diet was 69 mg/dL, on multitude of HIV drugs. It looks like the high cheese consumption: [LIST] [*]boosted my HDL by 20 mg/dL which is a 30% boost [*]did not affect my LDL [*]decreased my triglycerides by 30 mg/dL, a 30% decrease - perhaps because the cheese diet has more fat in it and less carbs for the same calories. [/LIST] I was also surprised that cheese is about 25% protein by weight, which is quite high. Chicken breast is about 50% protein by weight. I found an inconclusive confirmation online that cheese may increase HDL: [URL='https://www.livestrong.com/article/416856-does-cheese-cause-high-cholesterol/']Does eating cheese cause high cholesterol?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
