Jana Beck: Carb Intake and 60 Lipid Measurements
“I measured my lipids every other day on a very low carb, moderate carb, and high carb diet. When you really dig into the data it’s quite messy. The correlation between total calories and HDL-c is similar in strength to the correlation between carbohydrates and HDL-c.” -Jana Beck
Jana Beck is a data visualization engineer and participant in the QS Blood Testers project. In this show and tell she shares her conclusions — and confounding factors — from every other day lipid measurements across low and high carb diets. She highlights the power of self-tracking to elucidate useful information and discusses the myriad experimental confounders that get in the way.
