so I’m trying to get through a lot of

your questions in the comment section

and I wanted to answer this question

because it does come up quite often it’s

a really quick video the question is can

fatty avocados spike your cholesterol

people are concerned about that after

all most of an avocado is fat so we

don’t want to you know clog up our

arteries well actually there’s no

cholesterol and avocados okay and even

if there was it wouldn’t be a big deal

because most of the people that are

having bad effects with cholesterol are

consuming too many carbohydrates so it’s

the high carbohydrate diet that

increases the cholesterol because the

spike of insulin insulin converts a

carbohydrate into cholesterol and

triglycerides that’s really the problem

if you consume foods and high

cholesterol and you keep your carbs low

you’re safe you’re totally fine now it’s

true when you go on a ketogenic diet and

you start doing in a minute fasting

you’re mobilizing a lot of fat that’s in

your body for fuel because you’re in the

ketosis and your cholesterol will come

up temporarily but it’s not a damaging

thing because that cholesterol is being

used to repair things also the

triglycerides coming out are being used

for energy if you want more

clarification watch the videos down

below on cholesterol that’s a whole

separate topic the thing you get a watch

out for is the carbs but look at this

avocados have 12 grams of carbs

okay per cup but guess what ten of those

grams are from fiber you always want to

• the fiber from the total carb to give

you the net carb okay so we only have

two grams of carb that’s pretty low so

you don’t have to worry about it because

when you do a ketogenic diet you can

keep your carbs between 20 to 50 grams

per day

alright so know you don’t have to worry

about avocados worsening your

cholesterol they probably will help your

cholesterol thanks for watching

so if you like this video go ahead and
