Excellent. Thanks for posting, Dr Ali.

You are awesome, I'm so happy that truths are starting to come out.

Excellent information. My LDL is 147, my doctor prescribed medicine and now I have a nutritionist to follow my diet!

I've always had high LDL. Now 59 years old, still have high LDL (around 314 mg/dL on last test), no diagnosable signs of CVD, *never* had a seasonal flu, only ever had flu once which was the swine flu outbreak a few years ago, colds last maybe 24 hours. My vegetarian wife has those same colds for 2+ weeks. I don't know if it was my high LDL protecting me, and I don't wear it proudly like a medal or boast about it, but so far it has not been causative of any medical condition for me. Since going low carb, my LDL did go up, but my triglycerides dropped hugely from 360 to around 60, and my HDL is higher than my triglycerides.

I am glad I found this video. It explains the misconception of LDL cholesterol.

My Vitamin D level was low when I was taking statins. Was also prediabetic, Have been off statins for 2+ years and LDL has increased. TG/HDL is great.

Although my CAC score was 0, my total cholesterol was high so my doc wanted to keep me on a statin. I said NO and he got mad. My HDL was 94!

Great information ‼️✅

7 years keto / carnivore ... I used to get 3 - 5 colds per year... since quitting carbs I've had 3 colds, 2 mild, 1 moderate, and one bout of COVID (guessing it was), that was moderate. No symptoms from Delta, which my wife had and coughed all over me for weeks. My LDL is 313. In 2016 it was 190. So... high LDL has correlated with drastic reduction in susceptibility to viral and bacterial infection for me. Causal? There's reason to think so... see David Diamond's recent talks citing studies that show LDL attaches to gram negative bacteria (the bad ones in your gut) and holds them for white cells to neutralize. Keto also raises gamma interferon, according to Dr. David Harper, which is a powerful anti viral cytokine. So.. more reason to think Keto will improve your resistance to pathogens.

All other markers are good in range, sodium in the upper good range. Testosterone went up 140 points, in the normal mid upper range for any age. Healthy and no meds ever, maybe a slight improvement in mental clarity and less common sickness, colds flus etc, I’ve came across similar cases with other people but very few with total cholesterol under 220 with similar diets, time will tell I guess to see what the number will be on the next b test.

@@dossegundos7145 I train runners to do their first or improve on their half and full Marathons, Triathlons and cycling races. I used to train power lifters and a few bodybuilders. What a lot of people don't understand is that on keto, you can and will gain weight if your diet is not spot on. People think they can eat ad libidum on keto and it's just not true. One reason is that once you exceed 20 grams carbs your insulin goes up and those excess calories get turned to fat quite readily. On real carnivore people can usually keep eating, but that is because meat will fill you up pretty quickly and kill your appetite. Not so with keto. I suggest checking out Dr Eric Westman, he has a free keto diet checklist, and for carnivore, Dr Shaun Baker. Can't go wrong with either guy and neither allows deviation. Westman does not allow his patients to go over 20 carbs and also does not do "net" carbs, and no "keto snacks".

I suffered TIA (Minor stroke) in 2015 and now presently mostly on carnivore and low carb. My Carotid doppler shows no plaque and observed 1.4mm bilateral intima medial thickness. Presently taking BP medication Telma 40 mg and Clopidogrel 75 mg for Blood thinner. In this regard I request your advise whether should I continue Carnivore diet/Very low carb

Dear Dr Nadir Ali, Thank you for the wonderfully informative and educational videos, appreciate the yeoman's service that you are offering. May I seek a clarification? Is Triglycerides the fat circulating in the blood and therefore bad, versus HDL and LDL which are fats stored in fat cells and therefore required in appropriate quantities?

The sad thing is we don't have any medical practitioner to run to that supports your idea. Please suggest anyone in the Philippines.

Fasting in general makes your LDL go up as well, because your body use your fat as fuel.

My 77 year old uncle who found out a year ago that 4 main arteries to his heart are over 70% blocked. His most recent CAC score (last week) was 575 and this is after 35 years of being on a statin (40 mg) and with a diet of chicken breast, tuna, beans and rice + a serious jogger. Well, he still jogs 10 miles (3 days per week). He hasn't figured out that his troubles started within the same year that he had his 4th jb of the 100% safe & effective medical intervention. Your CAC score of 34 is nothing.

I have gleaned invaluable information watching almost all of Dr Nadir's videos, making me a smarter patient. One sunject I don't recall Dr Nadir talking about is the relationship between LDL partical count and Small LDL count and arterial plaques and heart disease. Dr Nadir, this has become hot topic and I would very much like to know where you stand on the subject. By way of example after 2 yrs of IF, low carb, high protein, I am metabolically healthy, high cholesterol, high ldl, good hdl levels, low triglycerides, low gluclose levels, low bmi and good BP, but my LDL partical count is considered high 2k+ and my small LDL count is also considered high at 1600+ These results seem counterintuitive.

Since then, I cut back on coffee (no sugar/cream) from 9 cups a day to 2-3 cups, started adding 3 whole eggs and 1 avocado to my diet each day for healthy fats. Just checked my bloodwork last week and my Tryglicerides are 79, HDL is 51, Cholestrol at 190, LDL at 121 and non HDL at 139. Fasting glucose is 80-90 mg and after meals around 87-90 mg. My carbs a week ago was around 230 grams a day and protein 180 grams. I lift weights, 5% body fat and 137 pounds and a lot of lean muscle mass, drink about 3-3.5 liters of water each fay. have since lowered my carbs.

You should be concerned if the LDL increases due to increased refined carbs and sugars. However, if it went up due to increased saturated fat, there isn't anything to worry about. You should look into type A- large buoyant cholesterol particles and type B- small dense cholesterol particles. This will give you the answers you are searching for.

Could it be so that in a low carb diet the liver starts to make more ketones, and because the process of making those has the same steps that making cholesterol, the liver decreases the production of cholesterol (as there are no more lanes on the road and now some lanes are reserved for ketones), which in turn leads to rising LDL leves as liver also decreases the amount of cholesterol reseptors on its surface as it has decreased the cholesterol production due to simultaneous ketone production and can’t take as much circulating cholesterol in as before? Just a layman’s theory.

Then you are at a risk for cardiovascular disease. 80% of the time high LDL-C indicates high ApoB. Risk follows ApoB.

I have been WFPB for years, no weight issues, no animal products, low cholesterol levels, low triglycerides. The real difference was going to whole foods. I never worry about carbohydrates because my cells are open and use those carbs are used for energy. Seems fairly simple to me the animal fats are not liquid when consumed nor in your body and plug cells. New research is showing how the cells and lipids become plugged with solidified fats (saturated fats from animals). Once those cells unclog the body absorbs nutrients and vitamins much easier. It will also digest and use carbohydrates more efficiently.

Oxidised LDL may not be the arsonist, but what about glycated LDL ?

@forester057

7 ай бұрын

Oxidized LDL is bad and is caused by glycation - the glycation prevents the liver receptors to absorb the LDL and therefore it circulates around and around - gets oxidized. If inflammation is present in the arterial lining, the oxidized LDL slips into the lining and over time is covered in calcium to stabilize it. Get rid of inflammation with low carb high fat and no seed oils. No vegetable oils. No inflammation - no heart disease. It takes discipline not to eat trash in our society.

Thus a low carb diet to prevent glycation. You cant escape all glycation and oxidztion....but you can limit it. The lower the carbs the better. But I would suggest that the carnivores are being over zealous in some respects. There is a place for some plants and definitely extracts and supplements as they protect LDL from both glycation and oxidation. I get that some people need zero carbs and plants to prevent autoimmune diseases and whatnot....everyone is an N of 1....but if you want to lower damaged ldl and lipoprotiens then it just makes sense to wisely consume antioxidants and plant extracts that help you in the long run.

Your BP and overall fitness is great, so you're clearly not on death's doorstep. Try to get your ApoB tested, because that's what really matters. LDL, HDL, Trigs are irrelevant, or at least imperfect surrogate markers of ApoB. Non-HDL cholesterol is probably the second best marker. I had extremely high ApoB (186) on a strict keto diet, and finally changed diets. I've gotta stay alive for my kids sake, and don't want to experiment with my health. I got back to a more normal ApoB (~85) simply by cutting out red meat and eggs in favour of fish and chicken breast along with two cans of beans per day. Fiber soaks up cholesterol like a sponge, and beans are the highest natural source of fiber, WAY more than whole grains. They also have a lot of protein. Don't worry about high fat or low fat, focus on your caloric intake. Try to be in a mild deficit. My fat source continues to be 3-4 tablespoons of EVOO per day.
