The irony about fats and cholesterol is to get fats to be absorbed in your gut, you need good bile flow.
And bile is produce by the liver, stored in the gall bladder secreted through the bile duct into the intestine.
The building blocks of bile is cholesterol. And cholesterol produce by the liver from sugars, protein and fats.
So sometimes the issues derive from poor bile flow and not just fat intake.
A lot of us are not aware we are most likely have issues with our digestive tract.
Eating sugars is always bad. I'm wearing a CGM (continuos glucose monitoring) now just to see what I eat spikes blood glucose so I can make a better choice of food items to take. I'm NOT a diabetic.
Taking Veg followed by fats and protein before carbs minimized the spikes from the carb intake. If I reversed the order, spikes are higher and longer, indicating I'm in fat storing mode longer. Eating fats like a tbsp of MCT oil have no spikes.
So eating high-sugar or carbs foods is the main cause of high cholesterol, not fats or proteins though everything must be in moderation.
And eating fatty food or protein makes you feel full faster and longer. Sugary or carbs makes u hungry faster hence the craving for more.
Again, wearing the CGM is an eye opener. Activities like workouts or stress does cause blood glucose spikes as an example. Good to know I need to manage stress better too.
High cholesterol is only a part of the problem. Current practice by doctors to prescribe meds for it targets only 1 part of the problem. Same goes for diabetics or pre-diabetics for type 2.
Prescribing meds like metformin and insulin is counter productive to solving type 2 diabetes when cutting out sugar and restricting carbs to 100gm per day can reverse type 2 diabetes, guaranteed.
