Okay, so I had another question from someone that wanted to know why is there LDL cholesterol

high on the ketogenic diet?

Let's talk about that.

So what happens is the fat cell is composed of triglycerides and cholesterol, okay, that's

what makes up the fat cell.

Now the triglycerides as they come out of the fat cell, as you do keto and intermittent

fasting, can be used as fuel.

So your body is going to burn these, okay?

Now if you still have high triglycerides when you do the ketogenic diet, which is rare,

all that means is the liver might be damaged and you might need some purified bile salts

to help that process and help deliver heal.

It could also mean your gallbladder is congested as well, in which case you would do a gallbladder

support.

But that's rare because as soon as you bring your carbs down, usually this drops considerably,

okay?

So your body will actually hold on to the cholesterol.

It'll actually use this as the fat cell shrinks first and there's going to be a point where

the cholesterol will then release, get released from the cell.

It might happen on the second, third, fourth week, it could be the second month, but then

the cholesterol will start to be released, which is interesting.

So the thing is we can't use cholesterol as fuel, so we're not going to burn that, we're

not going to even turn that into ketones.
