Libby,
I think keto lowers cholesterol for most people.
I have very high cholesterol and do keto, but will be sure to keep tabs on my cholesterol and see how it goes.
I dont use as much fats as others do, which is maybe why I have not lost much weight. I also think I dont eat enough, but I find it hard to eat.
But I find I do feel better if I cut out all grain or potato carbs, sugar, most fruit, and sugar substitutes. I have also been doing 18/6 fasting, which is my way of eating most times.
Who knows, but I sure would like to lose 30 pounds (who wouldn't??)
