I have a friend who consumed massive quantities of free eggs at Meta as a form of petty revenge. Egg prices were high at the time and they disliked the company but work is work. My friend ended up with major cholesterol issues.
The condition was easily fixed by stopping the eggs and we laugh about it now. But I think the counterexample is worthwhile for anyone considering a strange diet habit. Always check in with your doctor if you take something like this up and start feeling weird.
What I’d like to get across is to check in with your doctor if you take on a strange diet habit.
I disagree with the point that this is apples and oranges though. Both consumed mass quantities of eggs. If the only difference is ketosis, I’d say that’s a fair comparison and the exact sort of thing a doctor could advise on.
I would only add to be careful when talking to doctors. There are still doctors that talk in terms of good and bad cholesterol rather than taking a lipid panel and getting a graph of small dense to large buoyant particles within the cholesterol. To make matters worse many of them in the USA have been corrupted by financial incentives to push statins and that is another deep and endless topic all in and of itself.
Very fair point. I am disenfranchised from medical institutions in the USA and sometimes forget to look at the time. Edited my comment to clarify my location.
He's right to point out the difference. Human metabolic pathways for processing carbs and fats are capable of functioning independently and lab animals used as human analogs can live happy healthy lives exercising either. But they seem to interfere with each other when both are operating simultaneously, even in the lab animals, and that results in obesity and decreased quality of life outcomes.
another point worth mentioning is some substances the body cannot synthesize: vitamins, amino acids.
cholesterol.. cholesterol is not one of them. the body happily synthesizes as much cholesterol as it likes. so diet this and diet that associate with high cholesterol, sure. but also genetic. if the body synthesizes cholesterol, there will be population variation in how much cholesterol or how little cholesterol a person makes. And yes, some people do have super duper high cholesterol and go on statins automatically. so if someone says me "this person had high cholesterol, this one low, what's with that, we have not disproven a genetic contribution in the first place not to mention a gorillion other confounders
Not referring to simply the hosted site, only to the existence of NYP. They are an awful sensationalized, rage bait website that has a long history of making stories up. You really shouldn’t be paying any attention or traffic to them.

It seems OP did it in ketosis, and then slowly experimented with adding healthy carbs back in limited amounts.
Unless otherwise mentioned, I assume your friend added a bunch of eggs to his existing diet, which is comparing apples and oranges.

Financial incentives is not an issue in all countries of the world. I assume you are referring to financial incentives of medical doctors in the US.

What if you're always hitting the gym daily?
Site is so plastered with ads it’s totally unusable. I mean who runs this and thinks it ok?
It’s also a racist, clickbait, right wing website that pretends to be the TMZ of NY/US.
Don’t ever bother with anything from NYP
Slow news day? Or is the NY Post always this dumb? We've known for years that dietary cholesterol doesn't have any effect on blood cholesterol.
Commented above. NYP is an awful website, OP using it as a source for ~anything is telling.
Sorry, I‘m filtering ads with my pi-hole, so I simply don‘t notice these issues with websites anymore.

We is a very small subset of people. I hear this from literally >90% I talk to.
Many people I've talked to don't believe that though
