This weight loss diet can raise cholesterol and lead to heart disease

Recently, scientists have discovered that the ketogenic diet is actually harmful to the body. In particular, it negatively affects blood cholesterol levels and can contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

The ketogenic diet is different in that it contains a lot of fat. This is 70-80% of the diet. It is believed to help you lose weight quickly, but in fact it only harms your health.

A study presented at the ACC Annual Scientific Sessions showed that a low-carb, high-fat diet almost doubles the risk of developing heart disease compared to a standard diet.

The keto diet can include a lot of saturated fat and little soluble fiber. And this has a bad effect on cholesterol and apolipoprotein A levels.

To avoid dangerously high cholesterol on such a diet, you need to focus on other aspects of your life. In particular, on regular physical activity, controlling the number of portions, adding more whole grains to your diet.
