Short-Term vs Long-Term Effects
The Keto diet can raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the short term, but some studies suggest it may increase LDL (bad) cholesterol levels over time, which can affect heart health.
Importance of Healthy Fats
To mitigate negative cholesterol effects, it’s crucial to choose healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, and nuts over saturated fats from processed meats and butter.
Consulting Your Doctor
Regular cholesterol monitoring is recommended if you’re following a long-term Keto plan to ensure heart health.
