Take a look at the posts with lipids on /r/keto. Their cholesterol drops a bit because they lost weight, but most of them are still in the danger zone. I'm sure you've heard of Loren Cordain, one of the leaders of the paleo movement. He is credited as an author on a paper[0] that comes to the conclusion that 50-70mg/dl of LDL is the true optimal. You can't achieve that eating a diet rich in cholesterol.

Could I get a citation for that? I thought they only recommended low carb in specific situations. Why would someone who isn't obese or diabetic go on a keto diet?

There still seems to be questions about the lipid hypothesis. [1] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18615352 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18615352 The context of the SBU finding for low carb was indeed for low carb and Type 2's; when I mentioned that I was still in the context you brought up of Type 2's. [2] http://www.dietdoctor.com/swedish-expert-committee-low-carb-diet-effective-weight-loss http://www.dietdoctor.com/swedish-expert-committee-low-carb-... There is a lot of discussion on /r/keto and other keto forums about high cholesterol numbers, and it seems we need to perform more research. Because some (not all) longer-term (longer than a year) keto dieters are finding that their cholesterol numbers went down after staying elevated for awhile; one hypothesis is that the high numbers are from the release of cholesterol from breaking down fat stores.
