Leading cardiologist Dr Francesco Lo Monaco, founder of the National Heart Clinic in London, warns that many keto enthusiasts make a critical mistake that could elevate their cholesterol and strain their cardiovascular system. Keto works by limiting carbohydrate intake so drastically that the body enters a state called ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of glucose.
