If you're experiencing the roller coaster effect of feeling great
on a ketogenic
diet only to
crash and burn in the months following, then, a few
diet and training modifications may be in order.
Some say its a numbers game, the more LDL particles
crashing the walls of the arteries... some say the LDL is
only a sign of vascular damage, but if my LDL goes down
on a low fat
diet, then that is bs, some say that it may be a problem metabolizing LDL, intake / production is outpacing LDL receptor activity, some say its not LDL but LDL that stays in the blood too long and oxidizes, some say about 20 % carbs (I was less than 5 %) will produce just enough insulin to help metabolize cholesterol, but the hard core low carb guys, say the whole cholesterol thing is a scam and cholesterol under 500, without insulin resistance is nothing to worry about.
