The sugar and hydrogenated fat?
I had a blood test a month after TCR (I have them regularly to monitor cholesterol as I have hereditary issues) and the doctor was concerned about diabetes, said I was borderline diabetic, which I've never had before. Also cholesterol was up.
I discussed if TCR could have been a factor (I've read that losing a lot of weight can increase cholesterol levels in the short term as the fat comes out of storage and is broken up, leading to more in bloodstream, but hard to get actual data on it).
She basically wasn't sure so will retest in a few weeks time.
