Keto and Cholesterol

For most people, dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol are not as closely related as was once thought. For other people, however, dietary cholesterol serves to raise their serum cholesterol to unsafe levels. Given that you are now identified as one of those whose serum cholesterol reacts negatively to dietary cholesterol, keto may not be the healthiest bet for you. You also might need to pay more attention than some to keeping your saturated fats to a minimum and eliminating transfats from your diet altogether.

Keto, IF, low-carb, gluten-free, 5:2, OMAD, etc. ... Happily, none of them is necessary for weight loss. The only thing that matters long term is CICO (calories in/calories out). People use these special methods because they help them individually to control their consumption of calories. Do what works for you.

From https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/fats-and-cholesterol/cholesterol/ "For most people, the amount of cholesterol eaten has only a modest impact on the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood. For some people, though, blood cholesterol levels rise and fall very strongly in relation to the amount of cholesterol eaten. For these “responders,” avoiding cholesterol-rich foods can have a substantial effect on blood cholesterol levels. Unfortunately, at this point there is no way other than by trial and error to identify responders from non-responders to dietary cholesterol."
