Stavia,
George, but only post a single carb night right? What would happen if you had sustained higher carbs for two weeks? I'd bet a bottle of EVOO your TGs would rise
And I'd bet you'd lose! Here is a test from 2007, it is representative of decades of a vegan LFHC diet and tests during that time.
Quick summary: TC 149 mg/dL, TG 43 mg/dL, VLDL 9 mg/dL, LDL 92 mg/dL, HDL 48 mg/dL (the RDW was high 'cause I'd been donating blood frequently as a veg).
I understand why you'd make that bet. It would be a very good statistical bet!
I don't have the paper handy, but I found a study where they took normals, fasted them then fed them heavy cream. They measured TG's before and hourly after. The results were a fairly high spike an hour after then a decline over hours back to baseline. I think my "3/4" metabolism is a much slower decline. An interesting test would be for me to replicate the study with various kinds of fats. Even fasting spikes my TG's higher than a carb nite. For example, after a 36 hour fast TG 94, while after a carb nite TG 54 (both tests from NMR, not my home tester). The other part of the equation is what I name "a call for fuel." I've not tested after fasted exercise, but it would be interesting. My most anomalous test was after a LC vegan dinner and shortly after sex in the morning. TG 361! Even with a very large sat. fat meal (grass fed beef cooked in plenty of grass fed ghee) I've never had a reading 1/2 that! My interpretation is the sex created a "call for fuel."
The standard view is that the issue with TG's is they are indicative of insulin resistance. Last night I had a LCHF meal of 8 oz beef cooked in EVOO, salad with spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, onion, radish, carrots, a lot of walnuts. This morning TG 145, TC 211 HDL 49 LDL (calc) 133, ketones 0.6 mmol, glucose 74 mg/dL.
