1/ Very cool experiment and thread by @ScepticalDoctor who did a more #PlantBasedKeto and saw low #LDL #Cholesterol given high MUFA/PUFA relative to sat fat, along with high fiber (which supports my prior thread)

If looking to keep LDL low, this might be worth considering...

2/ As per my various tweets before this one on the topic, and not to beat a dead horse, I feel it is too often "low carb vs plant based" is often assumed the latter *must* be high carb -- thus, "low carb, animal-based vs high carb, plant-based"

... This is a false dichotomy...

3/ There are definitely some of us who are, as I like to say, "cautiously optimistic" with regard to higher LDL as appears to be resulting from metabolic fat adaptation in the context of higher sat fat, lower MUFA/PUFA and low to no fiber. But this risk degree is uncertain...

4/ Which is why we're doing the #LMHRstudy.

To be sure, resulting LDL levels for those trying a more MUFA/PUFA/fiber-prominent diet does vary, but I can speak from some anecdotal experience that it often *tends * toward lower levels.

5/ Again, this isn't an endorsement of #PlantBasedKeto, what to do with your LDL, etc

But what I do want to endorse -- strongly -- is for everyone to know as many options available as possible, to find what works for them and their goals...

6/ As much as I try to avoid the diet debates, I feel like this specific diet option doesn't get enough attention and that's why I continue to take moments like these to highlight it.

(Thanks again for the added N=1 data, @ScepticalDoctor)
