Keto - eating meat and effects on heart health

It wasn't terrible but wasn't the best either. But perfectly fine in the context of health just not optimal.

Well, I’m a bit concerned about my arteries given what I’ve been eating,

You shouldn't be. At the very least, we know that ingested fat/cholesterol has little to no bearing on blood cholesterol and/or plaque. Seriously, internalize this and never look back. I know it will be hard given the insane level of orthodoxy that has been shoved down our throats over these past decades, but you can do it.

ALL the doctors have always had it all wrong.

Well, some doctors have always had it all right. But you need to try to divorce this issue from "doctors". Doctors have very little nutrition requirement in med school - and the shite they are taught is mostly wrong to begin with. That leaves them in the exact same boat as you...except the vast majority of them are too hidebound and/or lazy to do their own research to keep current. I mean this literally - the 4 or 5 most knowledgeable lay people just on this board are infinitely more educated on the topic than whatever doctor you might have in mind.

So, PLEASE explain to me how my supper tonight was a healthy choice that promotes healthy living.

85/15 burger (cooked in burger in a skillet)
Shredded cheese
Two eggs cooked in the leftover burger-butter skillet
Two strips of bacon
A bit of mayo and mustard
Letttuce wrap

I would have gone for an even fattier burger, but I declare it to be an excellent meal. With zero irony, I would describe this as "health food."

Yes of course. This is my first evening without a lot of greens. I was just really hungry and kind of shopped with my stomach (no breakfast and a fairly small 11:00 lunch).
So that’s my two meals for today. Just over 1,400 calories.
A glass of red and a square of dark chocolate will be my dessert when I finish mowing the lawn.

Wiping was like trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpet. Nasty gut rot the whole time.

I ate like that for 3.5 weeks. I shite like 2 times that whole experience. And those two times were awful

Similar experience. NEVER AGAIN

Simple processed carbohydrates are a far bigger driving force for chronic disease than meat for sure. The idea that all fat is bad and eggs are the worst food ever is dated, incorrect thinking. Dietary cholesterol has little effect on serum cholesterol, and the only fat that demonstrably effects cholesterol or triglyceride levels in any relevant way are trans fats.

To answer your question though, it depends on which meats predominate in your diet. A diet high in lean chicken, seafood and eggs is relatively healthy. You want to avoid meat that is fried, especially those with trans fats (think KFC chicken). Red meat should be eaten in moderation. And you’ll want to take a fiber supplement.

And to all you who somehow stopped yourselves up, I have literally never experienced that on HFLC. Ever.

Well that settles it then, should never happen.


To the OP, I think your meal was fine although I'm not sure how sustainable for most people. The best diet is one you can make a lifestyle. My advice, don't listen to people that call doctors idiots (ie Junk, Big Scrub). They are like religious zealots except against everything but meat.

Well, to be honest, there's a Greek chorus in this thread of "oh yeah, me too" talking about how they experienced the same thing. I, myself, have not experienced that simply because of a meat heavy diet. Just another anecdote to add to the discussion.

They aren't idiots but they aren't particularly well versed in nutrition either
