Hi all,
I’ve been on Keto for the better part of 4 years and have great success with it. Dropped 60 lbs.
I had normal cholesterol numbers before i started keto. lost a ton of weight, but on a regular blood test, my numbers all shot up. i went to see a cardiologist (about a different matter - extra heart beats) and when he saw the number he wanted to put me on Statins right away. I was able to talk him down and he agreed to let me get a CAC for my arteries. When the score came back at 0, i was able to hold him off for a few months until i got a CCTA done (soft build up of Plaque). Unfortunately the test came back at 25% blockage. Now he wants me to be on statins and consider changing my diet to something less fatty.
ANY ADVICE??
