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
