Could I ask how you maintain the lipids of an Olympic athlete?? I am very curious to know how you keep your bad cholesterol so low. I have tried a lot of things. I work out very intensively about 4 days a week and I eat very healthy. I try to keep a vegan and mostly raw diet for the most part. I am still learning how to tune the Pump that I just got a few months ago but my bad cholesterol is about a 100 and my good cholesterol I am very proud to say is 74. My triglycerides are 44 so I am happy with that. My endo doesn't think I need to worry about my cholesterol and I have beg him to get it checked with my 3 months A1c. He says that once I get my sugars to be below 7, the bad cholesterol numbers will be lower too... So if I may seek you advice... I WANT an Olympic athlete's lipids!!  |
