Insulin resistance can affect LDL metabolism and raise total cholesterol through a mechanism different from how ketogenic or carnivore diets raise LDL.

“and that you can achieve a high LDL with insulin resistance through affecting LDL receptor metabolism or through a ketogenic or or diet through different pathways having to do with increased cholesterol so prolonged fasting and a lot of people will really ramp up your LDL exactly fasting will increase your LDL all of these things”

“I love what you said there that insulin resistance itself can affect LDL the metabolism yeah and can affect can affect LDL to the point that it raises LDL or total cholesterol yeah and I think that the main confusion with ketogenic and carnivore diets arises because you can also raise total cholesterol with diet yeah and that is probably not the same but the mechanism of what cause there is probably that on is probably the difference rather than the actual end result”
