Cholesterol Help ! - Grain Brain, Keto, Plant Paradox ?

Hey,

Following a mixture of Plant paradox, Grain Brain ( Dr Perlmutter ) and Keto Diet. I have been on this diet for 4-5 months, I have one cheat day per week.

I am very fit and when I started this type of diet I was about average in bodyfat, I have lost considerable body fat since.

In short, just had bloods back and my total Cholesterol is 6.2 mmol/l

LDL 4.45 mmol/l
HDL 1.37 mmol/l

I guess what concerns me the most is my LDL. Here is a snapshot of a typical day in my diet:

Morning:

8.00am -

2 fried eggs ( extra virgin olive oil) with Spinach and 1 avocado, all soaked in extra virgin olive oil and a bit of sea salt with a Black coffee with 1 table spoon of C8 MCT oil. Water.

9.30am -

Black coffee

10.30am -

Two handfuls of Pistachios


Lunch:

12.30pm -

Organic Free range chicken breast, mixed veg cooked in coconut oil (mostly Broccoli , asparagus, kale, spinach, leeks) coconut milk, turmeric) half a sweet potato or konjac noodles.

3.30pm-

Two handful of Pistachios, dark chocolate or some type of natural protein ball ( includes dates ) or 1 avocado.

4.00 pm-

Black coffee 1 table spoon C8 MCT oil.

6.00pm workout + ON Amino Energy two scoops

Evening:

8.30pm

Dinner - Veg stirfry: cooked in coconut oil, Shallots, Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric, Leeks, Asparagus, Spinach, Kale, Broccoli, Mushrooms) sometimes had half a sweet potato or Konjac noodles, half can of Coconut Milk, Balsamic glaze. Sometimes add Prawns or Haddock or Salmon

Black Decaffeinated coffee


Supplements:

Vitamin D - 2000-4000 UI
Organic Turmeric, Ginger & Blackpepper
Fish oil 3 tabs 1000mg
Blackwrack - on occasions where I consume more lectins
Probiotics


My guess is the coconut oil and MCT has driven high LDL levels, although I have only been on MCT for 6 days prior to the blood test.

Would love for peoples opinion on the LDL levels.

To note - on this diet, I have lost a lot of body fat.

Thanks
