Thoughts on, experiences with the keto diet?

I'd be very interested in hearing what happens to your lipids (assuming you are still consuming increased fats, including saturated).

Keto works for me, although I don’t enjoy living that way. (I mostly live on eggs and cheese.). I’m down 33 pounds in the last 12 months.

Beware MCT oil. My doctor ... the one who insists I go keto ... says most MCT oil on the market isn’t purified and can be bad for you.

Oh, and as a result of the diet (and, more likely, meds), my cholesterol has dropped from 330 to 120, and my triglycerides from 280 to 106.

So you're taking statins (which)?

I'd have been more heartened by your lipids on keto otherwise.

Have you had any side effects from the statins?
WTG's last link scared me. The long-term effects of keto.
