Hi, I am planning to follow a KETO diet and would like some valuable suggestions. Does it help in regulating high cholesterol and blood sugar levels?

The Keto diet may help lower blood sugar and aid weight loss, but it can raise cholesterol in some people. If you have high cholesterol or diabetes, its best to do this under a dieticians guidance. Choose healthy fats like nuts and seeds over red meat. Repeat your cholesterol and sugar tests after 1 to 2 months.

I am a CAD patient for the past 2 years. My recent lipid profile shows triglycerides of 256 mg/dL, while other values are in the normal range. I am currently taking Atorvastatin 20 mg, Aspirin Clopidogrel 75 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg, and Ramipril 5 mg. Earlier, my triglycerides were around 160 mg/dL, but this time they have risen to 256 mg/dL.
