Conclusion on a Ketogenic Diet’s Connections with Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a complicated molecule in the body that comes in many different forms – each with different clinical significance. That said, an abundant amount of research suggests that low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diets have a clinically-positive impact on each form. More specifically:
• Ketogenic diets increase the concentrations of heart-healthy HDL cholesterol more than low-fat, high-carb diets. [11, 12]
• Lowering carbohydrate consumption in healthy individuals also leads to higher levels of HDL cholesterol. [13]
• Low-carb, high-fat diets decrease LDL particle concentration (LDL-P) and increase the size of LDL cholesterol. [22, 23]
• Ketogenic diets decrease the amount of harmful VLDL cholesterol in the blood. [22, 23]
