Research is beginning to show that your genetic makeup – not diet – is the driving force behind cholesterol levels, says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD.

Do you have high cholesterol from foods or genetics? I am curious because mine is genetic so I am happy to take statins. I copied this to maybe answer your question.
To lower your heart disease risk, boost your HDL and lower your LDL cholesterol, try adding healthy fats like avocado and coconut oil and monounsaturated fat like olive oil to your diet ASAP. These are keto-approved and excellent for your heart health no matter which diet you ultimately choose.

Lara I am not a Dr. but I did play one of TV. My cholesterol is not based on what I eat. My diet was horrible with fast foods , sugary snacks, no vegetables etc and my cholesterol is always fine. But you are a different person. Are you trying to lose weight or eat better?
If it is lose weight maybe try some of the healthier fats like avocado, lean cuts of meat and select nuts.
I wish you luck and I believe (some) Drs. are changing their view of the Keto diet.
