Know your cholesterol goals
Have been on a very restrictive keto for the time of the virus and am down 32 pounds. My blood tests came back with very high LDL. If you do your research, this can be expected on the program. Just know how you feel about that before you go down this path. I have other reasons this will be a lifelong choice for me but I was caught off guard when my concerned doctor called.
You will see discussions on LDL particle size, large good, small bad, and need to determine how you feel about it. It is like the Hatfield and McCoy argument. No middle ground.
