Embraced the ketogenic diet only 2 weeks ago and don’t have much experience or knowledge about likelihood of negative effects to health.
In particular I’d be interested to know if, given the big focus placed on ingestion of fats, there is a higher risk for the occurrence of such conditions as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or strokes. Or am I worrying too much? Would especially love it if any one could link to studies conducted on this subject.
Many thanks!
No, what are causing those problems is the interactions between highly refined carbs and fats. Once you eliminate the carbs those reactions change. There are several podcasts about this that give a much better explanation with medical experts on the 2 Keto Dudes podcasts.
In my case my nephrologist and my primary care doctor were very happy with IMPROVEMENTS in those areas. Don’t stress, the elimination of most polyunsaturated fats will fix triglycerides and the absence of carbohydrates will start a lessening of inflammation in the vascular system and start cleaning up any damages you may have. I stopped taking aspirin after 20 years of it with my doctors okay. He’s not worried about cardiac or stroke issues any longer for me after 6 months in and 30 lbs weight loss plus reversing a pre-diabetic diagnosis.

There are no unbiased studies that prove saturated fats block arteries. Most of the studies that say otherwise were correlation studies based on data where high fat was eating in conjunction with lots of unhealthy carbs. I think if you do a little research, you will find that the true cause of heart disease is processed sugar, not fat.
