LCHF, Lipitor and Ketosis
Hi folks! I am doing LCHF under a DR's guidance since Dec 15th, 2016 and I feel really good, I have extremely high Cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) and have been diagnosed with heart disease.
My Doctor isn't a huge fan of Statins but considering my issues, believes that it's very important for me to take them at this time and had prescribed Lipitor 10mg. I've only been on it 2 days and will have a recheck in 3 months.
I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I'm currently taking 25 mcg of Levothyroxin daily.
My question is, for those of you on statins, do you feel that it hinders weight loss. Does it kick you out of ketosis?
Also concerned with the statin/diabetes connection. Do any of you think that statins caused your type 2 diabetes?
