[QUOTE="TeddyTottie, post: 2281595, member: 519030"] Hi Midiman I do feel for you, you are obviously worried about your cholesterol and kidney function and you have your doc saying one thing and everyone on here saying the opposite. All I would say is that medical practitioners do not routinely stay abreast of current thinking in all areas - they may perhaps for one or two topics of particular interest. You, however, very much have an invested interest in your own health. Do your own research and make up your own mind based upon what you read, the quality of the research cited and your own, real-time experiences as you try some things out and see what works for you. You are responsible for your health, not the GP. He is there to provide you with the benefits of his expertise, but he probably gained that knowledge 10 or more years ago. And you have access to all the most up to date thinking. So you may know more than the doctor on your specialist subject! Take everyone’s advice with an open mind and a pinch of salt, and run it all past your personal filters. Have confidence and do what is best for you. Full disclosure: I’m LCHF keto all the way, and have found it a revelation! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
