today we’re going to talk about the

difference between good and bad LDL now

normally someone is taught that LDL is

the bad cholesterol but that’s not

actually true LDL is divided between two

different parts and just so you know LDL

stands for a low-density lipoprotein

it’s not cholesterol it’s a type of

protein that is carrying cholesterol

through the body from the liver out to

the tissues HDL takes the cholesterol

from the tissues and brings it back to

the liver so we are so brainwashed to

think that LDL is the bad cholesterol

but they’re not differentiating the

specific types of LDL it does take a

special test to get this information but

I would highly recommend that you do it

I put a link down below for more

information so when you go to your

doctor you can ask for this specialized

test so here’s the two types s d LDL - P

this stands for a particle and SD is

small dense okay so the LDL is a smaller

dense type and this is the type that’s

the real bad one that can invade the

arteries deep into the tissues and

create all sorts of problems this is the

one that has the oxidized cholesterol

which will increase your risk of getting

heart attack by four times this is the

type that you normally see with the

diabetic because it comes from a high

carb diet but especially high amounts of

fructose fructose will create more of

this more than glucose so also realize

that sucrose like table sugar is like

half fructose and half glucose so a lot

of the sugars contain fructose and this

type is called type B just so you could

actually differentiate now we get 2 lb

LDL / p which is particle right here lb

is large buoyant the large fluffy type

of LDL okay it’s type A you’re gonna see

this when someone does the ketogenic

diet because it’s a higher fat diet when

you’re doing ketosis when you’re doing

in a minute fasting

you’re releasing a lot of fat in

cholesterol from the fat cells so you

need these these LDL carriers to

transport cholesterol in different

places but this type of LDL is benign

it’s not the type that clogs up your

arteries or creates damage okay this is

the bad one this is the good one I

suggest to do your own testing on this

and you will see that if your LDL is

high it’s going to be over here if

you’re doing the healthy version of keto

and in a minute fasting if you’re doing

carbs you’re gonna probably see more of

this right here the other thing to look

at is the triglycerides you want them

low and you’re normally going to see

them low if you’re doing keto and I F

which is a good indicator because you’re

using triglycerides now for your energy

source

also you want your HDL higher and you

normally see this when you’re doing keto

and I F

alright so that’s the summary I try to

keep it very very simple and I put an

additional link down below for more

information on this but definitely get

it checked and if you’re concerned about

it you’re gonna see that if your LDL is

high you’re gonna see this one right

here you’re gonna see this one as normal

or on the low side thanks for watching
