Many people are finding success in improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing abdominal fat, weight, and inflammatory markers by using a ketogenic or low-carb high-fat (keto/LCHF) diet. Other people would like to try a keto/LCHF diet, but they do not know where to begin or they want to do so under the guidance of a medical doctor.

Up to 1 in 3 people on keto/LCHF diets can develop very high apoB-containing lipoprotein particles, and these abnormal lipid levels can go undiagnosed without evaluation by a physician. Consistent evidence from numerous and multiple different types of clinical and genetic studies unequivocally establishes that establishes that low density lipoprotein is a causal factor in the complex pathophysiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes).
