For post-prandial insulin resistance to even be tested means the meal
included a significant carbohydrate component.  I would like to see a
similar test of different types of fat where the meal includes only a small
amount (less than 10 gm) of carbs, all from non-starchy raw vegetables,
since that is the context in which I eat saturated fat.  Since my lipids
improved markedly upon implementing a low-carb regimen, I suspect that
ingestion of fat in a non-carby meal does NOT raise the triglycerides as
occurred in this study.
----------------------------------

The study kept carbs intentionally low at 22% of calories so it wasn't
a low as you like but it was still low.
LInk to the full paper is provided.

Also all high fat diets (with or without carbs) will always increased
postprandial TG. This is well know and established. That's why TG
levels are tested fasted, so levels won't be influenced by post
prandial results.

Your low carb diet also included a significant weight loss (always
improved lipids) and a statin. Those are 2 huge confounders.

The only long term low carb diet study (<20 carbs day for a year) that
I know of found decreased blood vessell health. The longer the diet
went on, the worse the results. This has been posted on ASD an number
of times.
