Default How to Lower Cholesterol...new post by Dr Eades

Today received new blog post by Dr Michael Eades, that basically explains how to use the strategy from Dave Feldman's work on making short term diet changes (increasing fats) to lower your cholesterol numbers. Sounds crazy...but check this out.

How to lower your cholesterol
using diet to keep your doctor off your back

by Michael Eades

The most common question I get asked via comments on this blog and email is how to lower cholesterol levels and/or LDL levels. People asking this question have usually just gotten a high cholesterol reading of one kind or another and have heard the pronouncement from their doctor: You need to go on a statin.

The funny thing is, most of the people asking me this question probably have read more than their own doctors have about statins. They don’t want to start taking an expensive drug with a lot of side effects and even the potential for causing death.

But, they also don’t want to confront their doctor.

They figure the best way to deal with the situation is to figure out a way to lower their cholesterol some other way, so their doctor will leave them alone about statins. Usually they cut the fat in their diet or more rigidly adhere to their low-carb diet or whatever diet they happen to be on. They go back to their doc a couple of months later, expecting significantly improved labs, but typically discover their cholesterol levels even higher.

There is a solution.

In case you’re not one of the people in this situation, let me give you an example of what these emails look like. Here is a message I got a few days ago from one of the few high school classmates I keep up with.

If you are new to Dr Mike's blog writing style...loved this little paragraph.

Since I’ve used the example above, I’ve got to digress for a bit to tell you something that always slays me. Have you ever noticed that if you go out to lunch with friends and have the whole hog Big Mac meal with fries and everything, no one really says anything to you? But if you don’t order the fries, and you throw away the bun and eat only the patties and the little lettuce, tomato, and whatever comes with it, people say, Oh, you’re on one of those crazy low-carb diets. Don’t you know those will wreck your kidneys, and all that fat will clog your arteries? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard it.

Okay, digression over.



Btw, Dave Feldman collected more Crowd Sourced Data prior to his presentation at that KetoFest in CT earlier this month. I saw snippets of it on social media, and believe the theory held on average...a few outliers. I don't follow his work closely since I don't bother with cholesterol tests anymore, but someone interested should be able to find an update.
