I have high cholesterol. Used to eat normally. Was on statins. Highest dose doctor would prescribe. Got muscle problems. Doctor took me off statin coz it might be the heart muscle at some point.

Unrelated to this I tried Keto a bit later. I did actual real keto with less than 20g of carbs. Probably higher on the protein side than normal but loooots of fat definitely and eggs and bacon and all the other cholesterol stuff.

All of my other bad blood values completely normalized. Cholesterol went down slightly but not much but LDL/HDL ration improved. I didn't get the test to check for size and makeup of the cholesterol molecules done (not covered/done here) but I bet you it would've confirmed that I had a lot of but mostly the fluffy type of cholesterol (the good type).

My LDL dropped by three quarters once I switched to a keto(ish) diet a decade ago and stayed down. My HDL remained stable, almost like the body manufactures it for cell walls or something...
