Here's another interesting thing, fat is not the enemy. We need fat, we need cholesterol and blood levels of cholesterol do not correlate with fat eaten. Sugar is the enemy and sugar causes the body to make the extra cholesterol you worry about. Exercise can cut the cholesterol readings, but limiting carbs can dramatically do so. Read more recent scientific articles and you will see this is so.Hmm that's very interesting. By cutting back on carbs I've managed to quickly lose a bit of weight and feel better. Not sure how long I can keep it off for, I'll need to readjust my preferences and habits. In my case I'm not trying to do keto per se, just trying to lose weight and boost energy levels and break the cycle of stress and comfort eating. However I have now been told I've got a higher level of cholesterol and LDL than they would like, so I'm not sure about the high fat thing. I will probably have to cut out a lot of milk and cheese too, and bacon, replaced by avocado and oily fish. This is the first time in many decades I've tried to keep an eye on what I eat.

Sleep or lack of it hasn't affected me foodwise;Out of curiosity, do you find it hard going particularly at times when you haven't had as much sleep as you're used to
