Familial Hypercholesterolemia
My bf has Familial Hypercholesterolemia and I feel like keto would help. He's on medication right now for it. Does anyone who knows more about this disorder point me in the direction of any studies or information that I can read so that I can present some information to him on it?

Losing weight too fast
I've lost almost 10lbs in less than 2 weeks. I'm nursing so from what I've read this is too fast because of toxins being released from the fat. I'm also concerned about getting loose skin. Will the weight loss slow down soon or do I need to increase my carbs?

Lifting and hypermobility
Does anyone else have hypermobility and trying to put on muscle and reducing ligamentous laxity? I didn't think it was going to be this hard. I tried to be careful with my lower back and knees and ended up not paying as much attention to my shoulders and got bursitis. Anyone have any advice on how to reduce flexibility?
