Ironically, my total cholesterol level went under 200 once I started eating eggs every morning about 17 years ago. I'm convinced that in the absence of dietary cholesterol, your body will make it on its own and it won't necessarily be the healthy kind of cholesterol.
When I was growing up in the 1970s, the narrative was that eggs were bad for you so my mother always had those "egg beaters" in the refrigerator. Tubs of margarine too because they also said butter was bad back in those days.
“Ironically, my total cholesterol level went under 200 once I started eating eggs every morning about 17 years ago.”
For convenience’s sake, my sister started eating 2-3 eggs for breakfast nearly 30 years ago. Her physician frowns upon it, but admits her blood work is excellent.
She has never gained weight and doesn’t benefit from cutting carbs. I’m more of an intermittent fasting fan than a keto person, but the two go well together. I’ve struggled with weight my entire life - was a VERY fat kid - but 9 months into a somewhat keto-ish food selection with intermittent fasting has seen my blood pressure go from 155/110 without medicine & 135/90 with medicine down to 115/75 without medicine. And the downward trend seems to be continuing.
Add in 35 lbs of weight loss and I’m happy.
155/110 to 115/75.
WHY WOULD I EVER GO BACK?
