From Maxine Pye, UK Nutritionist and Founder of Ancestral Escape:
"I do the opposite of almost everything the “experts” tell me.
I eat eggs every day.
I eat fatty red meat and bacon.
I cook with real butter.
I salt my food.
I eat liver.
I avoid seed oils.
I don’t buy low fat products.
I don’t count calories.
I eat until I’m full.
I don’t snack.
And yes, my LDL cholesterol is high.
Apparently that alone is supposed to terrify me.
Never mind that my triglycerides are low.
Or that my HDL is high.
And my blood sugar is better than when I followed the “balanced diet” advice.
One number goes up and suddenly I’m treated like a ticking time bomb.
That logic makes less sense to me the deeper I look into cholesterol.
LDL is not “bad cholesterol.”
Your body literally makes cholesterol on purpose.
It uses LDL to transport energy, hormones, fat soluble nutrients and repair materials around the body.
When you eat low carb and burn more fat for fuel, lipid transport changes. Of course it does.
But instead of asking why LDL changed, the entire conversation becomes fear.
Statin.
Low fat diet.
Eat the carbs.
Avoid the red meat.
Meanwhile people following the official advice are more overweight, more diabetic, more inflamed and more medicated than ever before.
That should raise more questions than my LDL number.
I genuinely think the cholesterol story people were given is one of the biggest health scares ever sold to the public."
I wish you Health ❤️
