Thank you for this information. My LDL is high and gradually going down but not enough. Now I have info to help. On keto 2 1/2 years and recently modified it watching the fats I’m eating. Now I’ll add more low carb veggies. Thanks again. New subscriber.
The best on this subject. Easy to understand without going into deep terminology that most people don’t understand. Short and to the point. I finally got it! Thank you so much for explaining it so well!
Thank you so much for this information. It was easy to understand and I’m going to start following it tomorrow. It was What I have been looking for for six months. Again thank you
More studies show that cholesterol isn’t a good indicator of heart disease. LDL isn’t bad. The type of LDL is more important than the amount. Small high density LDL is bad but large fluffy LDL is fine.
I liked very much of this video. I'll like to ask, what about fruits? They also have fiber, do they help lower cholesterol? Thanks in advance if you could answer 😊
:) Great video, thank you! They say that the skinnier the person is, the greater increase in LDL they will have on keto diet (together with high HDL and low triglycerides). Have you notice such correlation in your practice? If overweight person goes keto, LDL drops, but if healthy skinny person does the same LDL goes sky high?
Very informative video, thank you so much. How about the recent research that shows saturated fats in dairy do not adversely affect body cholesterol levels? Or maybe having it in excess does impact it?
You need to have a blood panel that differentiates Small Dense LDL (sdLDL) vs Large LDL (lbLDL) particles and not just give a general LDL result. Small are the killers. Large are less likely to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. So you may have high LDL it is not a real problem if they are primarily Large particles.
Very good point and saturated fats in dairy have been shown not to contribute significantly towards the small dense right? Do you know if the doctors offer a test to differentiate between the 2?
@@JayL-cr3zr there is a more I depth test to find out particle size, but from my experience, Drs don't just offer it, you have to ask. Even then some Drs won't order it. My LDL is very high (197) but instead of offering more in depth panels, my Dr office just called warning me my cholesterol is very high and ordered medication. I refused b/c my triglycerides are 68 (higher than I like them) and my HDL is 87. My lipid panel was not done during a fasted state, and I have enjoyed a few trips to the ice cream shop this summer, which I hadn't done in 6 yrs!
I’ve been doing keto for 2yrs now, I started at 57yo, I’m now 59 and 60lbs lighter. One thing I noticed is when I ate meats my cholesterol shot up, but when I started eating fish and chicken as my protein my cholesterol would drop about 40 points. So my cholesterol was up at 261 then down to 223, normal hdl and triglycerides, my ldl slightly elevated and my doctor still wanted to have me take a statin🙄. I said no thanks, I’ll continue to try and bring it down with my diet.
I just started taking fiber powder and upping my protein and I am going to begin to lower saturated fat but replace it with the other fats you mentioned. So, not long enough to see a change in my LDL yet but I have been on low carb for a year and it cut my triglycerides in half and my HDL is a little better now too. I also feel better on low carb but it upped my LDL so looking forward to adding fiber and poly and mono fats. Thanks for great information and for caring.
Well I nearly had it right, lots of salad and veg, reduced fruit to berries, removed ultra processed, reduced dairy, but kept greek yoghurt, upped avocados, fish and nuts, tried to get grain free, no potatoes, limited alcohol, intermittent fasting, took vitamins and minerals, virtually only drink water. Result.. Lost weight, lost hair,blood work is nearly brilliant, feel great. Cholesterol went really high, never had a problem with it before. Prescribed statins, but have said I intend to change my diet, re test, and see if there is a difference. So less meat for me for the next few months, and stricter check on my cooking. Shame the nice piece of meat made the rest of the diet bareable.
This Dr. contradicts all the keto specialists on youtube, who claim that saturated fat, do not cause heart disease and high LDL does not cause CVD. hmmm. Everybody wants to influencer the world to do things their way. BUt his video was ok. Take what you need from it.
High cholesterol is not a disease. The brain is 70-80% fat and cholesterol. Has anyone looked into the almost epidemic level of alzheimers since statins were introduced? Just curious.
Good video Dr. Dave! I"m doing KETO for over TWO YEARS now, Question.... It is bad my total cholesterol? - TOTAL: 427, the LDL 328, my doctor is panicked when he sees my result, he want to give me Statins! My TRIG: 102, GLUCOSE: 87, A1C: 5.3, KETONES: 1+ ( Anybody understand my result?, thank you!)
@@drdaveclayton Thank you very much for your advice Dr. Dave Clayton, now from today I begin to follow your instructions.

Thanks again Dr.👍👍👍
@@M_freedomOfSpeech No problem! Remember that this isn't medical advice, just good general education on nutrition. Talk to your doctor before making any changes on medications or supplements. Good luck!
@@drdaveclayton Ok my friend, but was good your advices, thanks again! I may ask the Doctor about how bad is to take the statins only for a month, he may say is good any way, ok take care Dr. Dave.
@@M_freedomOfSpeech Happy to help! Definitely talk to your doctor before stopping any medication. With statins it really depends on the person. But either way, there's a lot you can do to move it in the right direction. Good luck!
Hi I hope you are doing great Dr I wonder if my keto diet that I been since 3 years, which I stopped, because I eat a lot of vegetables. But at the beginning of the year I was diagnosed with 3 versicle stones, I wonder if my keto diet created. Also now I have thyroid problems too, no I e in my family has any of those problems, just me Please help
Wow, how dangerous to say that all you need 50 to 70 g of protein a day that’s ridiculous only 7% of your protein makes it to your muscle 7% 14 is released. Tell me the Kandrea and only 7% make it by the time it gets to muscle so you would need at least 1 g of protein per body pound to be able to even come close to maintaining lean body mass of muscle, you need to do more study on this you’re obviously deficient when it comes to knowledge on proteins see Dr. Lyons, Gabriel, Lyons, and Dr. Laymen your muscle activates at 3 grams of loosing, which is about 30 g of protein think about that a minute your body style is an ectomorph. You have a whole different profile gonna send them off. If they followed your plan, they probably die of lack of muscle you barely surviving at 50 to 75 g of protein a day.

Nice clear video. Thank you. One suggestion. Music in background is unnecessary and a little annoying but really appreciate your content!
Great explanation without all the BS Thank you
Thanks, this is the most concise and easy to understand cholesterol/keto vids I've come across...🤗

Clear and relevant. Thank you
Thank you sooo much!! I now have a plan going forwards to lower LDL. Excellent video… oh and the music was lovely! 🤣🤣🤣

Thx Dr. Needed this to know the best way to do keto.
Ditch the music. Not needed. It’s actually annoying s d takes away from your great message.
I was so immersed in the info.. I didn't even realise there was music....
My LDL is too high ..I am on keto for 6 months ..I am so upset ..but thanks so much your video makes me feel better!
what is your ldl number, what did your doctor recommend?

@@drdaveclayton Quick question, where would chicken fit in these categories? Chicken breast vs thighs?
How do we know that plaques accumulate as LDL rises? We do not monitor arterial change!

Does ldl only accumalate in arteries ? Not in veins ?
That is what I've recently heard. It was believed that it's because of high blood pressure which exist in the arteries and not veins.
High cholesterol is not a disease. The brain is 70-80% fat and cholesterol. Has anyone looked into the almost epidemic level of alzheimers since statins were introduced? Just curious.
