Does the increase in LDL levels outweigh the benefits of a ketogenic diet on HDL and triglycerides, as discussed in the episode Dom D'Agostino Returns (Full Episode) | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast) and the clip LDL and Ketogenic Diets?
Considering the effect of a ketogenic diet on HDL and triglycerides, does the increase in LDL levels outweigh the positives? Referencing the episode Dom D'Agostino Returns (Full Episode) | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast) and the clip Ketogenic Diet Insights.
I have a question about this episode 171. July 2022 Bloodwork Review! and this clip High LDL Discussion. For example, I know that when I’m on a low-carb diet, both my LDL and HDL go up slightly (and my triglycerides go down—this is known as the lipid triad), but my total cholesterol to HDL ratio stays below 3 and may even decrease a bit more. Is this okay in your opinion, or should I focus on lowering my LDL and add more carbs to my diet?
