In this video, Dr. Berg talks about cholesterol spike on a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting plan. The body makes 75% of cholesterol and only 25% of it comes from the diet. There is a huge feedback loop on how the body makes cholesterol and the cholesterol from the diet. In other words, when you eat more cholesterol foods, your body doesn’t make as much and when you don’t eat as much cholesterol foods, the body makes more.
Two Purposes of Cholesterol
1. For structural purposes – cholesterol is needed for every single cellular membrane in the body.
2. It is needed to make vitamin D, bile and steroid hormones
Fasting
When you fast, the cholesterol will go up, you already tapped out your glycogen reserves, now you are tapping into the fat reserves. Fat has the major storage of triglycerides and it is the largest storage of free cholesterol.
Remnant Cholesterol - It is what is left over from total cholesterol minus the HDL and LDL.
