LDL Cholesterol And The Keto Diet

Thank you Dr Berry ❤❤😊

What do you recommend for people like me whose LDL goes up to high?

I'm starting to hear that there is no BAD CHOLESTEROL, though, that it was yet just another LIE.

Probably the 33% that's not doing great on the carnivore diet have scarred artery walls from high blood sugar and the saturated fat is not good for them at this time, if you know what i mean.

So: what are we to do if LDL increases and we or our PCP freaks out?

Why does he not share his blood work? Paul Saladino does.

Standard north american diet that is

Hubby’s went up to 518 on Carnivore. He quit coffee, and it went down by half in four months.

I don’t need to lose weight and in good shape
No medicines
I only eat one vegetable a day besides meat and eggs
Praying my A1C comes down from 6
No reason for it to be up 🙏

I’m not a LMHR - I’ve struggled with obesity my entire life. I’ve been on BBBE carnivore about a year and my cholesterol has sky rocket beyond what the test measures. My HDL is too low - abnormally low.

My best guess is this is more related to my thyroid dysfunction. So it’s possible that you can have “terrible cholesterol” in carnivore - but it isn’t related to carnivore. It’s just another sign that something in your body still needs healing. Sometimes carnivore isn’t enough to heal everything.

I’m hoping my iodine therapy will make a difference and start to normalize my cholesterol. Bloodwork this week will show whether or not my iodine treatments have helped anything.

I am a LMHR... fully on keto/carnivore. But have a VA appt in a week so I transitioned to the Nick Norwitz oreo diet to "trick" the doc... wish me luck. 😅

My experience is LDL goes up but it's large particles the sdldl went down. I understand the LDL being a transport mechanism for the fat burning

EVERYTHING IN MODERATION

I’ve heard LDL only is not a marker for heart attack but the triglycerides. And no Drs check for omega 3 levels…
It’s as if they want us on meds to “fix” the problem but it’s our diets.

Help me out here is Keto and carnivore the same thing?.. if not what are the exact differences please 😊

I bowed out of keto when my ldl hit 621

It goes down only if you obese.

I wonder why? Maybe they have some kind of major health problems that needs to be checked out for sure😮

Bottom line, saturated fat will raise your LDL-C and apoB.

So what's the risk if the LDL does go up? Do you need to address it?

So why does 1/3 of people On keto LDL go up??
My LDL went up to 227!

Is there a video addressing the small, dense LDL vs the large fluffy LDL particles?

Show the data

So how do you know? Just testing?

But why does 1/3 of people’s cholesterol go UP?! I’m one of those people! Is this bad???

My non hdl just now is 173.
LDL is is 156.
Consuming meat and eggs.
Red wine sometimes.
Triglycerides are at 73.
Any advice?
I go to the gym and tear it up for 2 hours straight some days and 1 hours other days. I'm down 40 lbs in 4 months. I'm not very educated about this cholesterol level and if I should change something based on this test result.
Also, i have cured being diabetic in the first 3 months of carnivore. 7.5 A1C down to 5.6.

Happen3d to me. But trigs down HDL UP

I am a ketovore for about 5 years. I followed your recommendation and had a lipoprotein A test done in addition to the standard tests. TRIGLYCERIDES
53 HDL 68, so ratio excelent... however LIPOPROTEIN (a) 383 freaked me out a bit. I am now lost as to how to proceed.

And if you took 1000 vegans with cholesterol of 60, the level under which it is impossinle to get CVD, and put them on carnivore. 100% will have their cholesterol go up.

Why do I have to be the third that has sky rocketing numbers that has my doctors breathing down my neck? Not to mention the info for us about needing meds is sketchy. im worried im setting myself up despite the weight loss.

I just got my blood work back in today. And yes my total and LDL went up. I will recheck again in 3 months. I started the carnivore diet 5 months ago

After incorporating Planet Ayurveda's Arjun Tea into my lifestyle, I have seen a remarkable reduction in my cholesterol levels. My doctor was pleasantly surprised!

One year ago, my Triglycerides were at 155 which is extremely high, today it’s at 64 🥳 Dr. Ken Berry says be careful if triglycerides are high, cut out the carbs!! Carnivore diet is so healing ❤️

Is low HDL 64 a problem?

I hope that this comment will be read and addressed by at least one keto/carnivore influencer. The LMHR study results were just published. My concern is that they mentioned that plaque begets plaque. That gives me pause because, if that’s the case, does a strict keto or carnivore diet really slow or reverse the progression of dangerous plaque? The concern of conventional medicine is that it does, especially if the person was metabolically unhealthy to begin with. I have seen the anecdotal reports that people on the PHD become healthier, but I would love this to be studied more with actual data similar to the LMHR study. If that takes crowd funding, then I’m first in line to help fund it.

Hi Dr Berry ive been on carnivore for 3 months now and i did my blood works and have been told that my LDL dangerous cholesterol is 4.7 and they want me to go on a lower dosage cholesterol pill . All my other ailments have improved can you advice me if i should take these pills or not

So I got a question, I’ve been on carnivore for about 7 months now, my LDL is currently at 5.97mol Triglycerides are at 0.72 and HDL is at 1.32, how bad or good is that?

It’s not a misconception. Recent study shows cholesterol increases on low carb/keto/carnivore at an alarming rate.

My LDL is around 320 and I don’t care. Been primary carnivore for 5 years and feel amazing. All my bloodwork is great.

Been on carnivore for 11 months now ,weight is down 25kgs pre diabetes is gone my high blood pressure gone now 108/80
Blood test result good cholesterol is low ldl is 7.8 doctor says my other carnivore patients have very similar results and they all say dont worry about it being high, i told him the same and that i feel 20 years younger

I have been on carnivore for around 9 months before this blood test. My doctor is concern that my LDL is too high, and wanted to have my heart checked - worry that i might have a heart attack. But i am not sure if I need it. Can anyone tell me if my result is okay or not?
Cholesterol is 6.8
Triglycerides is 0.6
HDL is 2.0
LDL IS 4.6
Non-HDL IS 4.8

Wonder is this works for Familial hereditary High LDL

My ldl has been 500 or more for over a year eating like this. Is this a cause for concern?

I did beef butter eggs odd coffee 6wks I have auto immune condition. I d like to day you should be warning people more about the dangers of this diet. I thought I was dying on this meat.. Best beef fatty ribs money cud buy I was on. After 6wks not an ounce of energy the transition back to healthy veggies has been hell. Instant pain in kidneys diagnosed with kidney stone. Took me 9 days to go toilet and that took me an excruciating 1hr to pass. Never again you need to be warning people. I have since found many others like me all suffering in silence. Awful experience!

my LDL is 7.5, triglycerides are low. Dr's want put me on medication

So all three results can't be good - so are the ones whose ldl goes up at risk?

I lost 3 stone very quickly, my LDL went up and I had a LAD heart attack.

My LDl hiked up to 197….no carbs..no sugar

My HDL cholesterol increased and LDL decreased and it also increased my triglycerides a bit

What does it mean for those one third people whose LDL goes drastically high after Keto?
