Low carbohydrate diet

During the last few years, in spite of being a person who does a lot of sports and takes care of my diet, my cholesterol and especially triglyceride levels had shot up.

Several doctors instead of giving me a solution, offered me medication, which I refused.

Since the false pandemic I am a total conspiracy theorist, although I was before but I had my doubts and since the false pandemic I know I am not crazy, I have stopped believing in doctors.

Just a year ago, I decided to attack the problem. Previous years I managed to do it by intermittent fasting of eating once a day, but it was certainly very hard for me. So I decided to remove as many carbohydrates as possible from my diet.

The result is that just one year later my cholesterol and triglyceride levels are those of a newborn.

Therefore, carbohydrates are the cause of the hormonal imbalance that leads to elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Doctors prescribe you pills but do not change your diet which means that when you stop taking the pills, the levels go back up, and who wins? the pharmaceutical company since you become chronically ill.

As a note, my triglyceride levels were reduced by 75% and my cholesterol level by 50%.

Eating basically meat, nuts, cheese, fish, a little bit of vegetables and a little bit of fruit.

All this makes me question so many things....

Obviously it is an expensive diet that not everyone in my country can afford. The FIAT system leads you to eat shitty food because your salary is devalued so much that it is impossible to feed your family well and this is the terrible thing about it.

Same! Had massively high triglycerides. Cut alcohol, carbs, limited myself to only a couple bites of the homemade desserts, and dropped them way done. Doc was astounded, "whatever you're doing...keep it up." Zero meds, only supplements like fish oil etc.

We need to stop looking at the lipid panel, it is a complete red herring and unrelated to (almost) any pathology. The main risk factors for coronary heart disease are smoking, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Even family history and lack of physical exercise is more strongly associated with heart disease than hyperlipidaemia.

What is the most frequent cause of kidney failure in the world? Diabetes. What is the most frequent cause of blindness in the world? Diabetes. What is the strongest predictor of cardiovascular disease (i.e. a heart attack, stroke or peripheral artery disease)? Diabetes.

How do we prevent diabetes? The most fundamental way to prevent diabetes is to limit your carbohydrate intake, a majority of which come from sugary sweetened beverages, junk food, pastries&bread and starchy vegetables.

Do that, don't smoke and exercise. Also avoid seed oils, and you're golden.
