Keto and cholesterol

Anyone tried keto with high cholesterol? Did it get better or worse?

Gets worse

Gets worse if you overdo the red meats. Mixing in plenty of fish (salmon, etc) and avocados (& other healthy fats) helped!

Gets worse initially but then it comes down. I have had high cholesterol for about 20 years. After being on keto for about 6 months my cholesterol came under normal level. However after stopping keto it rose again. If you think you can do keto for a short period and reap the benefits for a long time, you're mistaken. But you can benefit from the weight loss and it may help long term especially if you start exercising and manage to keep the weight down.
