I have been eating keto for about 10 years now with occasional lapses and sometimes going off of it for up to a week but I always go back on. Last time I had my cholesterol checked my good cholesterol was high and my bad cholesterol was normal. That being said, prior to quarantine I used to do an hour of cardio a day and high cholesterol runs in my family. As a child I had high bad cholesterol and high triglycerides
I wondered the same. I have an appointment in a month and plan on having mine checked. I started keto in late June 2020 and have lost 60 lbs. I try to stick to the healthy fats but occasionally, i sneak in the not so healthy things. I feel so much better though.
I heard that your cholesterol will shoot up temporarily after losing a lot of weight. Try doing a lot of daily exercise to lower it
After being on it for a year and at a stable weight mine spiked from 180 to over 400. Ratio was still good but overall number was scary. Cut out red meat added salmon, stayed on LCHF and was back down to 180 in 3 months.
Sounds like being SFA sensitive, it’s a real thing, many are. I can pound SFA and not go over 180, however my wife can’t. She was sitting around 270 with or without LCHF. However, she had nearly zero Trigs, my Trigs run high in either way, LCHF or SAD. I understand the statin skepticism in the community but we both started a low dose Crestor every other day. With CoQ10, K2, of course. I don’t care about LDL as long as I am between 120-160, but it Helps my Trigs, lipoma pain, and asthma. Drove my HDL up, and inflammation burden down, as well. I try to take 4grams of EPA fish oil and 2 grams of krill makes a huge difference. Remember, it’s more than the raw lipid number or particle count, they are proxies for oxidation burden. LDL can go up or down for good or bad reasons, that one they won’t tell you.

Curious, are y’all statin skeptical or LDL as driver skeptical? I love Dave but remain pro llhf and pro statin, LivaLo and Crestor, not really the others.
Complex question to synthesis the “standard of care consensus” and what critiques are required. And also how weight loss impact LDL/HDL in the short term. For me Trigs and inflammation are the places where I start. My HDL is improved as are my Trigs on LCHF, my LDL is relatively unchanged. It runs a bit higher but not over the “190 fear zone.” I take a statin, on my own terms and rationale, not “LDL fear.” Low dose Crestor, ever other or third day with a good CoQ10/PQQ. Asthma, lipomas, Trigs, and general inflammation. I also take 4 grams a day EPA fish Oil.
