Some people here think that high cholesterol on a ketogenic diet is normal. No, brothers. This is considered a complication of the ketogenic diet.
I don't really know why you are practicing your ketogenic diet, but blood cholesterol levels are checked before this diet. Because by artificially raising your cholesterol, you will get artificial atherosclerosis with an artificial heart attack. Got it?
The point of a ketogenic diet is to get ketone bodies like acetone. They are formed when fat is broken down. That is, you need to eat a lot of fat. In the classic ketogenic diet, this is 4 parts of fat to one part of the rest.
Fat is different, and the degree of increase in blood cholesterol from all this fat is also different. You can't just take 4 to 1 lard with bread and get a ketogenic diet. It will vomit or vomit.
It turns out that the ketogenic diet is a game with different types of fat. The point of the game is to get into ketosis, but at the same time keep the fat in the intestines and not get a heart attack.
On a ketogenic diet, there can be different fluctuations in blood lipids, but there is usually no big jump in cholesterol or triglycerides. If there is a jump, then that's another story.
In any case, the ketogenic diet does not allow you to increase your cholesterol uncontrollably. This is not an excuse for eating saturated fat. If your cholesterol rises, you will have to eat less fatty meats, fatty dairy products, less coconut and palm oil, and fewer eggs and trans fats.
Have you ever raised acetone in your blood?
