The Diet & Lipids Networking Group

The Diet and Lipids Networking Group is a free, hour-long, quarterly virtual meeting for all healthcare professionals, where any topics relating to the dietary management of cholesterol and other blood lipids are discussed. These meetings provide an open forum to share and learn with other health professionals working nationwide to support you in your clinical practice. 

 

Our Next Diet & Lipid Meeting is:

The Lean Mass Hyper Responder Debate: Ketogenic Diets, LDL Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Risk

Join us on Thursday 12th June 2025 at 1:00pm for a timely, expert-led Diet & Lipid Network meeting unpacking one of the most topical and divisive issues in diet and lipid management.

The rise of Lean Mass Hyper Responders (LMHR) is fuelling debate around ketogenic diets and whether very high LDL cholesterol really matters – particularly in lean, active individuals. It’s a theory gaining traction, but what does the science actually say?

Dr Alan Flanagan, leading nutrition scientist, and HEART UK’s expert dietitian Lynne Garton, will break down the LMHR concept, explain why the theory does not stand up to scrutiny, and explore the consequences of underestimating the lipid and cardiovascular impact of ketogenic diets and elevated LDL-C – even in those with otherwise 'healthy' profiles.

They’ll also explore the practical implications, and how health professionals can confidently respond to patient queries around this popular but potentially risky dietary trend.

Don’t miss this essential discussion on a topic that’s dividing opinion – and gain clear, practical insights to support your clinical advice.
