The engineer Dave Feldman tried the ketogenic diet and felt fantastic... Until his blood tests came back, that is. Apparently, his cholesterol had gone up a lot.
He decided to dig deeper into this and started some fairly extreme self-experimenting. Feldham may have taken more advanced cholesterol tests on himself than anyone else in history. What he has found is highly interesting for anyone wanting to know more about cholesterol on a low-carb diet.
Apparently, you can drastically lower your cholesterol, by eating MORE fat. And that's not all. Here are some of the things we discuss:
