Keto Diet Heart Risk

2025/8/29 Edited to

... Read moreRecent research presented at the 2023 American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session highlights significant concerns regarding the impact of keto-like diets on cardiovascular health. These diets, which are low in carbohydrates but high in fats, are associated with elevated levels of LDL cholesterol, commonly known as "bad" cholesterol. Higher LDL levels contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. The study further identifies a twofold increase in the likelihood of major cardiovascular events for individuals following keto-style eating patterns. These events include chest pain or angina, blocked arteries necessitating stenting, heart attacks, and strokes. While ketogenic diets are often praised for rapid weight loss and improved blood sugar control, these emerging findings urge caution for those considering long-term adherence without medical supervision. Healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of monitoring blood lipid profiles regularly when on restrictive diets like keto. Integrating heart-healthy fats such as those from avocados, nuts, and olive oil can potentially mitigate some risks, but overall dietary balance remains critical. Additionally, incorporating physical activity and routine cardiovascular screening can further support heart health. For those interested in weight management or metabolic improvements without compromising cardiovascular safety, consulting a registered dietitian or cardiologist is advised. Personalized nutrition approaches tailored to individual risk factors can help balance the benefits of ketogenic diets while minimizing possible adverse heart outcomes. In summary, while ketogenic diets may offer certain metabolic advantages, the 2023 study underscores a compelling association between keto-like eating patterns and increased heart disease risk due to elevated LDL cholesterol and doubled cardiovascular event rates. Awareness and careful monitoring are essential for anyone adopting this diet to safeguard long-term cardiovascular health.

The Hardest Part of Risk Management
Many times, you’ll look at a chart and realise you just missed the ideal entry. You hesitate for a moment, then tell yourself, “It’s fine, I’ll just enter anyway. It’s going in that direction.” That fear of a missed opportunity is a slippery slope. Sometimes, it still works out. But more ofte

Why I no longer build my trades around 1:2 R:R
When I first started trading, I believed one rule mattered more than anything else: 👉 “Always use at least 1:2 risk-to-reward.” It sounded disciplined. It sounded mathematical. It felt safe. Risk 1 to make 2. You only need a ~34% win rate. Simple, right? But over time, I realised so

Buy new launch, rent while it builds, sell after SSD. Worth the risk?
The rentvesting play sounds clever. Buy a new launch condo. Rent a $3K/month place while it builds over 3 years. Move in at completion. Sell once the exit tax clears. Pocket the gain. I ran the numbers on a $1.5M new launch — first property, no ABSD. very very conservative $1.5M can just about
