[QUOTE="ert, post: 2115590, member: 504712"] Firstly, you need to discuss this your GP's as we can't give advice on this forum. I can only talk about my own personal experience where I worked with a sports nutritionist and GP. I used to get waking blood ketone values from trace to 0.6 which meant I exercised predominately on carbs (I run a similar distance every day) and my nutritionist suggested I would respond to counting cholesterol (though most people won't which follows current recommendations that you can eat without restricting cholesterol.) I asked my GP and specialist for a 3-month delay in taking their medication to lower my total cholesterol of 10. The ketones, for normal people, the sweet spot for weight loss is 1.5 to 3.0 mmol/l. This level of nutritional ketosisis recommended by researchers Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek. So my sports nutritionist said this was evidence I wasn't burning fat efficiently, being below this range. Three months later my total cholesterol was below 5. Every time I stop counting, it creeps up and I have to be stricter again, but they haven't thrown the statins word my way again. Anyhow, having lower ketones was not a bad thing because as a type 1 diabetic, high ketones and extended high sugars (greater than 13 mmol/l) are something to be avoided at all costs. (Fast forward two years: I had to go onto insulin when my ketones started to come in over 6 as I could no longer clear them away. This wasn't anything to do with my diet.) This is what I use. I only bother counting the big numbers. [URL]https://www.ucsfhealth.org/education/cholesterol_content_of_foods/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
