Well my cholesterol is up on lchf diet.
Big people like me dont need cheese and cream.
Mind u im losing weight, slowly.
Fat helping me lose weight?
I need to change from dairy fats to better fats.
Could i ask ... (in a nice way) if your not eating fat and only eating 20g of carbs a day ..where do you get your energy from ? I tried it for a day and felt so ill .. I must have got something wrongI had no problem with low carb, low fat, and shed a lot of weight that way.
Then I re-introduced good, non saturated fats, and again, no problems.
A few don't like the phrase 'low fat' here, but I figured I already had enough of my own, I wasn't going to run out.

I would say my body, it certainly used to have a lot to spare.
Energy wasn't an issue, the body is resourceful, it lays it down well, it burns it when it needs to.
And to be honest, a one day fast isn't that long, one poster on here is doing a seven day fast. @KevinPotts
Sorry @ickihun to hear that. If you want to lose weight eating fat isn't the answer. Of course we need some fats but as Lindy said we don't need to over do it. I hold onto saturated fat and dairy fat but avocado, olive oil and mayo in moderate amounts aren't a problem. I don't need to lose weight. What types of fat are you eating? Also I agree IN THE ABSENSE OF CARBS fat will not make you fat, unless overdone of course, but if you are eating carbs it will be a disaster. I eat less than 20 a day, mostly salad greensWell my cholesterol is up on lchf diet.

If you've been on LCHF for more than a couple of weeks or so you should be adapted to burning fat for energy and my personal experience given those conditions is that a single day fast is straightforward.
Are you sure you were fully ketone adapted prior to your single day fast, as the condition of feeling awful that you describe is unusual:

My last test gave me 4.3 total which was 3 ldl and 1 for other.Sorry to hear your your cholesterol is high .. Mine did increase, but it was the good cholesterol .. so no problem for me.
How many carbs are you on a day .. I do around 20g a day and the weight just fell off to start with .. 5st in 2 years I am happy with that. Eating fat will not make you fat if you are on low carbs .. but the carbs must be low ...
Do you have your cholesterol numbers ?

Kevin I felt ill and faint/dizzy on 20g carb so had to increase to 50-60g.If you've been on LCHF for more than a couple of weeks or so you should be adapted to burning fat for energy and my personal experience given those conditions is that a single day fast is straightforward.

I know the NHS doctors want us to have lower cholesterol levels because we are diabetic, but a lot of folk would say that 4.8 is healthier than 3.8. The TC level that has the lowest all cause mortality rate in women is around 5.6 my own is 5.8 and I'm very satisfied with that. It's your trigs figure that really matters anyway and that should be below 1.0 if possible.My last test gave me 4.3 total which was 3 ldl and 1 for other.
Wanted a print off but nurse wasnt sure how to do it. Seeing gp next friday but specialist on monday morning so I'll get one then but today it was 4.8. Slowly increasing from 3.8 before lchf.
