I did that too. Up to and including declining statins.

Without going into details here, very possibly the worst possible outcome ensued.

Don’t eat a high cholesterol diet. Really. It’s really bad for you, like kill you dead bad for you.

There isn’t some global vegetable conspiracy that invented atherosclerosis. It’s like the #1 or #2 killer alongside cancer.




> I did that too. [..]

If you are saying that you too were on a carnivore diet long term (5+ years) and very possibly experienced "the worst possible outcome" related to cholesterol levels, you would be the first person to report as such. Perhaps you would like to publish the anecdote in detail somewhere (including just exactly what you ate, as "a high cholesterol diet" is imprecise enough to mean many things)?


Your first sentence isn’t true.

Heart disease kills 700k per year just in the US alone.

It’s well known that high cholesterol diets are extremely unhealthy. The research is totally unambiguous.

Us keto/carnivore people are great at finding stuff online that tells us it’s fine to eat a high cholesterol diet and that it will be safe and fine.

It is not safe and it is not fine.

If you must be no-carb, do vegan keto, but don’t eat a high cholesterol diet.
