Cholesterol

nvmomketo · February 2016

When going low carb there is usually no need to worry about fibre. Fibre seems to help some with moving carbs on through but most low carbers that I have talked to find that increased fats do a better job than fibre does. MCTs like coconut oil will keep things moving.

I will try to talk to my doctor but unfortunately she is incredibly uninterested with doing anything except printing off a list of low cholesterol foods. I am happy with all of these suggestions and the opportunity to learn more about this subject.

Fiber lowers cholesterol, because it lowers the absorbtion of cholesterol, and decreases the risk of heart disease. Why would she avoid it? Its role is not to serve as a laxative!

As for coconut oil, despite all the hype, drs still do not consider it a particularly healthy choice and some are simply calling it a fad:

I would agree. Why would anyone ever suggest lowering fiber. Fiber is key to GI health and provides much more benefits than saturated fat ever will (even MCT). Besides, where else would one get vitamins and minerals?

I agree fiber is a huge part of my diet and always will be. It has multiple benefits for me especially since having my gallbladder removed. I also agree about coconut oil I won't even use it on my face anymore because it's proven to be clogging. Definitely bit of a fad
