I would say I do about 70/30 carnivore diet. A lot of red meat, a lot of protein, a lot of fruit, low carb. I feel great and have a healthy weight and decent muscle mass. I exercise four to five times a week.
I went to the doctor for bloodwork recently and he wants me to get my cholesterol and LDL numbers down. My cholesterol is at 221 and my LDL is at 150. I'm not an expert on this stuff by any means but I know a lot of carnivores would say these numbers are fine, while most people would say that high cholesterol and high LDL levels are associated with heart disease.
Are these numbers high? Should I cut back on red meat?
