Triglycerides on keto

The increase in triglycerides is because your body is mobilizing your stored fat-congratulations! Check out the Dr Berg video on YouTube  for a short sweet explanation.

Mine are 215 mg/dL (normal 0-150)

I work in a medical lab and volunteer my blood regularly for testing as part of validation studies.

I have the menopausal belly (fatty liver?) and saw my triglycerides increase after a month on keto.  It encouraged me to “keep keto.”

I only check my labs occasionally because my main markers are from my smart scale, my waist and how great I feel on keto. Best wishes-M.
