Cholesterol & Keto: How to Lower Your Cholesterol on the Keto Diet

This video teaches you how to lower cholesterol on the Keto Diet.
The Keto Diet is a great way to reduce your blood sugars, lose weight, and eat well. But it's often hard to keep your cholesterol in check on the Keto Diet. In fact, the most common issue people have on Keto is high LDL levels. In this video I'll explain the impact Keto has on the three cholesterol measures - LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. I'll also discuss why LDL goes up on Keto and some simple hacks you can use to keep your LDL right where you want it while you're on the Keto Diet.

Ditch the music. Not needed. It’s actually annoying s d takes away from your great message.

[@karenhoff5548]

Thank you for this information. My LDL is high and gradually going down but not enough. Now I have info to help. On keto 2 1/2 years and recently modified it watching the fats I’m eating. Now I’ll add more low carb veggies. Thanks again. New subscriber.

[@ummccsicunpspas9379]

One of the best and most informative video that i've see regarding cholesterol and Keto.

[@drdaveclayton]

Happy to hear that! Were there specific tips that are helping you out? Thanks for your support!

[@susanfisher4551]

Nice clear video. Thank you. One suggestion. Music in background is unnecessary and a little annoying but really appreciate your content!

[@brookstorm9789]

Clear and relevant. Thank you

[@debbiedegroot9599]

Thank you so much for this information. It was easy to understand and I’m going to start following it tomorrow. It was What I have been looking for for six months. Again thank you

[@arnolddemaagd8678]

Great explanation without all the BS Thank you

[@porkysbikerlife7893]

Well I nearly had it right, lots of salad and veg, reduced fruit to berries, removed ultra processed, reduced dairy, but kept greek yoghurt, upped avocados, fish and nuts, tried to get grain free, no potatoes, limited alcohol, intermittent fasting, took vitamins and minerals, virtually only drink water. Result.. Lost weight, lost hair,blood work is nearly brilliant, feel great. Cholesterol went really high, never had a problem with it before. Prescribed statins, but have said I intend to change my diet, re test, and see if there is a difference. So less meat for me for the next few months, and stricter check on my cooking. Shame the nice piece of meat made the rest of the diet bareable.

[@haydeeramos7839]

Thanks. Very well explained 👏

[@amyhoop9651]

This was so helpful and the best I have seen. Thank you so much!

[@drdaveclayton]

You're welcome! Have you tried any of the tips mentioned in the video? Thanks for your support.

[@amyhoop9651]

I just started taking fiber powder and upping my protein and I am going to begin to lower saturated fat but replace it with the other fats you mentioned. So, not long enough to see a change in my LDL yet but I have been on low carb for a year and it cut my triglycerides in half and my HDL is a little better now too. I also feel better on low carb but it upped my LDL so looking forward to adding fiber and poly and mono fats. Thanks for great information and for caring.

[@daveperfetti2711]

Very helpful information, thank you.

[@drdaveclayton]

Thanks Dave, glad this helped!

[@24mbronc]

@@drdaveclayton Quick question, where would chicken fit in these categories? Chicken breast vs thighs?

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Outstanding

[@drdaveclayton]

Thanks Dave!

[@kuna129]

:) Great video, thank you! They say that the skinnier the person is, the greater increase in LDL they will have on keto diet (together with high HDL and low triglycerides). Have you notice such correlation in your practice? If overweight person goes keto, LDL drops, but if healthy skinny person does the same LDL goes sky high?

[@TheColson79]

More studies show that cholesterol isn’t a good indicator of heart disease. LDL isn’t bad. The type of LDL is more important than the amount. Small high density LDL is bad but large fluffy LDL is fine.

[@janeknight3597]

How do we know that plaques accumulate as LDL rises? We do not monitor arterial change!

[@SiriusStarGazer]

This Dr. contradicts all the keto specialists on youtube, who claim that saturated fat, do not cause heart disease and high LDL does not cause CVD. hmmm. Everybody wants to influencer the world to do things their way. BUt his video was ok. Take what you need from it.

[@naglashoukry3526]

My LDL is too high ..I am on keto for 6 months ..I am so upset ..but thanks so much your video makes me feel better!

[@gilmen4850]

what is your ldl number, what did your doctor recommend?

[@mariaisabelgarciavazquez9675]

Hi I hope you are doing great Dr I wonder if my keto diet that I been since 3 years, which I stopped, because I eat a lot of vegetables. But at the beginning of the year I was diagnosed with 3 versicle stones, I wonder if my keto diet created. Also now I have thyroid problems too, no I e in my family has any of those problems, just me Please help

[@jodyjackson5475]

Check out Sally Norton and oxalates

[@faithfultheology]

Anyone that says you should eat vegetables. I wouldn't follow

[@ptbwinland146]

Does ldl only accumalate in arteries ? Not in veins ?

[@firstchoicefarm7767]

That is what I've recently heard. It was believed that it's because of high blood pressure which exist in the arteries and not veins.

[@M_freedomOfSpeech]

Good video Dr. Dave! I"m doing KETO for over TWO YEARS now, Question.... It is bad my total cholesterol? - TOTAL: 427, the LDL 328, my doctor is panicked when he sees my result, he want to give me Statins! My TRIG: 102, GLUCOSE: 87, A1C: 5.3, KETONES: 1+ ( Anybody understand my result?, thank you!)

[@M_freedomOfSpeech]

@@drdaveclayton Thank you very much for your advice Dr. Dave Clayton, now from today I begin to follow your instructions. You can't imagined how grateful I am, I did not know those HACKS and how to lower it with Sterol. I have friends who are dieting and I am going to share their valuable information! Thanks again Dr.👍👍👍

[@drdaveclayton]

@@M_freedomOfSpeech No problem! Remember that this isn't medical advice, just good general education on nutrition. Talk to your doctor before making any changes on medications or supplements. Good luck!

[@M_freedomOfSpeech]

@@drdaveclayton Ok my friend, but was good your advices, thanks again! I may ask the Doctor about how bad is to take the statins only for a month, he may say is good any way, ok take care Dr. Dave.

[@drdaveclayton]

@@M_freedomOfSpeech Happy to help! Definitely talk to your doctor before stopping any medication. With statins it really depends on the person. But either way, there's a lot you can do to move it in the right direction. Good luck!

[@mymomsoldlandcruiser7220]

Why does cholesterol need to be lowered? This is the wrong way to think!

[@shysmith167]

High cholesterol is not a disease. The brain is 70-80% fat and cholesterol. Has anyone looked into the almost epidemic level of alzheimers since statins were introduced? Just curious.

[@gbwhitewarrior]

Wow, how dangerous to say that all you need 50 to 70 g of protein a day that’s ridiculous only 7% of your protein makes it to your muscle 7% 14 is released. Tell me the Kandrea and only 7% make it by the time it gets to muscle so you would need at least 1 g of protein per body pound to be able to even come close to maintaining lean body mass of muscle, you need to do more study on this you’re obviously deficient when it comes to knowledge on proteins see Dr. Lyons, Gabriel, Lyons, and Dr. Laymen your muscle activates at 3 grams of loosing, which is about 30 g of protein think about that a minute your body style is an ectomorph. You have a whole different profile gonna send them off. If they followed your plan, they probably die of lack of muscle you barely surviving at 50 to 75 g of protein a day.

[@jodyjackson5475]

Absolutely true. That is very dangerous. But it’s an md what do you expect

[@isangha74]

I thought fatty meat & fish were encouraged

[@jodyjackson5475]

They should be

[@jodyjackson5475]

LDL below 70!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? Wtf?

[@flyingfree6246]

I agree. Below 70 is ridiculous. This is possibly very old information 🤔...I'm sure this doctor has updated his thinking by now?

[@SiriusStarGazer]
