Keto spiked my cholesterol levels like nothing before or since. I couldn’t believe what 3 months of it did to my bloodwork.
I guess there are exceptions since you are one.
Cholesterol isn’t bad. Optimum total cholesterol range for total longevity is 200-260.

Keto is the only thing that lowered my husband’s cholesterol after years of low fat diets and medication. It took a good year for it to come down, but it has stayed at optimal levels now for nearly 6 years. He is practically a carnivore with a few veggies thrown in.
He had high cholesterol even when he was a skinny high school kid.
All his other blood work is perfect as well. His doc was skeptical at first but now tells him to keep doing what he’s doing.
What many people don’t realize is that your body makes the cholesterol you don’t eat.
There is more to heart disease etc, than just cholesterol numbers alone.
