Low LDL on Keto
Hi all Ive been on Keto about 2 years now and just recently had a blood test. I'm 60. My Triglycerides are 44, my HDL is 78, which looks like good numbers.But my LDL is only 89.

IF and LCHF and T2D
I'm looking for a little insight as I am doing this without my doctor's assistance. He told me to lose weight then put me on insulin.

Keto vs Low carb?

What LCHF is NOT!
Been thinking a lot about the impending changes and additions to the Group "Announcements" and/or FAQ's/Mission Statement and Frob's statement in his first draft where he said; " I am hesitant to set any firm line on what is low-carb and what is not." It's a comment I completely agree with since I too believe it's neither…

Years of keto, No more.
I've done keto for 7 years. Only swaying a few times but always able to drop the weight that I put on. Ive enjoyed keto and I've been exhausted by it.

High Blood Pressure
Does anyone have advice on controlling high blood pressure without medications? I’m trying to take a lot of minerals and it seems to be helping. I take potassium chloride and real salt mixed in water every day. I take magnesium pills every day as well. I’m still on meds but want to get off of them.
