RE: Is it Unhealthy to Eat a High-Fat Diet? - Cycle Day #2 - Keto Cut Day 23
YOu didn't talk about the high cholesterol part, studies have shown that diets high in saturated fats increase the bad cholesterol and diets high in monosaturated and polisaturated fats increase good cholesterol, which is what we want!!! The problem is not having high cholesterol, the problem is having high bad cholesterol !!
QOTD: Did you know that fat was conisdered bad by society for so long (and it still goes on for the far majority of people) because research studies were on diets that were high in both carbs and fat?
First, we saw the diminish of fat in all food, and health problems started to appear, now we see the diminish of carbs in all products, and we are starting to see other problems too... But if something should be cut is carbs, of that i agree, i have much more energy on high fat low carbs then i have on high carbs low fat, but people don't understand this...
Yeah I was thinking of doing a separate article on HDL vs LDL. Saturated fats fall into the category of raising your LDL which is definitely not good for us! Studies have also shown that eating more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats will raise our HDL and thus improve our overall cholesterol levels. I should've expanded on that a bit in this article, but I think I'll follow this up in the next post! Thanks for the ideas!
I agree, taking away carbs is definitely not the answer. Some people actually do better on a carb diet, but I think more people need to be educated about all the various types of eating - ketogenic, moderate carb, caveman, vegetarian, etc... - and once they're educated, they should try each diet and see which one works best for their personal health and health indicators.
