Ha! Read this while eating after-dinner unsweetened greek yogurt to complete today’s protein grams. I find getting enough challenging.
There is actually a lot of evidence that fat restriction including saturated does not improve cardiovascular disease risk especially if replaced with carbohydrates.
My cholesterol is over 320, my LDL is in the high 200s but my triglycerides are low and my HDL is high ever since liw carbing.
My new primary doctor is also a cardiologist in addition to a PCP. We started out with an echocardiogram and carotid artery Imaging. Now despite the fact that I take after the side of my family that all died of complications of diabetes like congestive heart failure and kidney failure before the age of 40 you would think after 22 years on a ketogenic diet that vastly lowered my heart attack risk I would have had some sort of plaque in my arteries. I had no thickening of the walls I had no blockages I did not have significant plaque and where I did it was primarily the stable kind that doesn’t cause issues. Just saying. I haven’t needed any diabetic meds either all these decades thanks to the diet change I made. It took me years to love it but I immediately loved the benefits if not the flavors. And I’m the same age as old people now.
