When to Lower Dietary Fat on Keto: Here’s Everything You Need to Know
The keto diet is a low-carb, moderate-protein, and high-fat diet. However, there are times when you may want to lower your fat intake. This article will discuss when to reduce your dietary fat on keto and why.
Why Fat is Bad When Combined with Carbs
A diet high in fat and carbs is not a keto diet, and it can be detrimental to your health. When you consume a high-fat diet, it can be unhealthy if you also consume a lot of carbs. This combination can cause insulin resistance, inflammation, and other harmful health effects.
Why You Shouldn’t Do Low-Carb and Low-Fat Diets
Your liver needs some fat to function optimally, and a high-protein diet can be hard on your kidneys. Low-carb and low-fat diets can be hard on your liver, especially if you consume lean protein. This can cause many digestive issues and may not be sustainable in the long run.
What If You Have High Cholesterol?
You may need to reduce your dietary fat consumption if you have familial hypercholesterolemia. However, some people can lower their cholesterol if they go on keto and cut down on carbs. It is essential to talk to your doctor about this and to get a cholesterol test to determine if you need to reduce your fat intake on keto.
Bile Deficiency and Gallbladder Issues
You may want to temporarily lower your fat intake if you have gallbladder issues or a bile deficiency. Bile is vital to fat digestion, and purified bile salts, choline, or lipase can help with fat digestion.
Plateaued Weight and Cutting Back on Fat
If you’ve been on keto for a while, you may notice that your weight has plateaued. In this case, it can be beneficial to lower your fat intake temporarily. You can try reducing your fat to 75 grams daily, allowing your body to tap into your fat reserves and help you break through your weight loss plateau.
Bulletproof Your Immune System Course
Along with lowering your dietary fat, taking care of your immune system is crucial. Dr. Eric Berg offers a course on bulletproofing your immune system, which may be useful during these uncertain times.
Conclusion
In conclusion, knowing when to lower your dietary fat intake on keto is essential for optimal health. A high-fat diet is only unhealthy if combined with a high-carb diet. Low-carb and low-fat diets are not sustainable and can be hard on your liver. If you have familial hypercholesterolemia, talk to your doctor to determine if you need to lower your dietary fat intake. Lastly, if you have gallbladder issues or have plateaued in your weight loss journey, consider reducing your fat intake temporarily.

In this video, I will answer a question I get repeatedly—when do you lower dietary fat on keto? There are a few things you need to know about this topic.
A high-fat diet is only bad if you also consume a lot of carbs. Remember that the keto diet is not primarily a high-fat diet—it’s a low-carb diet. A diet that is high in fat and high in carbs is not a keto diet.
I’ve also found that low-carb and low-fat diets are hard on the liver (especially with lean protein), which causes a lot of digestive issues.
If you go on keto and cut down on carbs, some people can lower their cholesterol; others need to cut down on fat consumption. What if you have familial hypercholesterolemia? This is something you want to talk to your doctor about.
Bile is vital to fat digestion. You may want to lower your fat temporarily if you have gallbladder issues or a bile deficiency. Purified bile salts, choline, or lipase can help digest fat.
Another reason why you may want to lower your fat is if you’ve been on keto and your weight has plateaued. In this case, you can reduce your fat to 75 grams daily. This will allow your body to tap into your fat reserves.
