My guess would be that you eat very little fat, and that leads to raised cholesterol, almost all of which is being produced by your body, not consumed with your food.
Am I right in thinking that you get much less than 60% of your calories from fat??
I eat about 70% of my calories in fat, including butter, heavy cream, Cream cheese and lots of cheeses.
Total cholesterol has gone up, but not too bad, and good cholesterol has increased dramatically, plus triglycerides are very low.
My ratio is the best it has ever been since started checking it.
To have your body running on keytones, you have to eat a fair amount of fat. Otherwise you are back to the low fat weight gain syndrome, with lots of demand for insulin.
Good luck.
