I have been living on a ketogenic diet for over 20 years.<p>I do find it strange that when I go to my GP to have my annual health check up, my cholestrol levels have always been below normal.<p>Yet, My daily fat intake is around 75% of my calories.<p>I do only eat quality fats, avacado oil, olive oil, butter and coconut oil, as well as the fats in the meats that I eat. I eat about 18 eggs every week.<p>I'm knocking on 70's door. Keto has worked for me, why not other people.<p>I was always told when I was a young man that high cholesterol was due to eating fats. yet this is not true.<p>Low fat Margarine was promoted as the next big thing for good health. years later we are now told its the most dangerous thing we can put in our bodies.<p>Eggs, in particular were the evil culprit, One must always avoid eggs.<p>I remember a TV advert in my teenage years promoting eggs with the line "go to work on an egg".<p>My ex-wife used to be a persoanl trainer who worked for the NHS with patients who had open heart surgery.<p>she told me, that when eating natural fats, the ones that out bodies recognise, our bodies take what it needs and then passes the rest out from our body.<p>When eating margarines and fake manufactured low fat spreads and oils etc, our bodies do not recognise the unnatural fats and cannot choose what to use and what to pass from the body, instead all the fats are absorbed into the body.<p>maybe an answer as to why half the population of the western world is obese.<p>I grew up on a family diet of meat and two veg.
