10. I lost 60 since the pandemic started.

You cholesterol should be ok if you avoid trans fats, which are the ones most likely to cause problems. These are liquid oils that have been turned into solid fats, like shortening or margarine, and are mostly found in processed and packaged foods. They tend to raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower your HDL (good) cholesterol, so should be avoided as much as possible. Other fats are ok in moderation and are an important part of a keto diet. If you are concerned of course you should get your cholesterol checked.
