Lipid results over one year low carbing

[yannah]

Your test results show your lipids are normal. This test includes Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL and LDL. Your total Cholesterol is 167. . Less than 200 is normal. Your triglyceride-level is 73. . Less than 150 is normal. your HDL, the good-cholesterol, is 60. . Greater than 44 is normal. Your LDL, the bad-cholesterol, is 92. Less than 130 is normal. If you are currently taking medication, continue as directed.

less than 50 carbs a day and non stop dairy. moderate protein.
they have only gotten better but these are the best so far and it has taken a year to ge this good.

I do not count fat only carbs. I eat eggs, had 5 for breafst this morning......

I was off my statin last october. one year ago I quit taking it.

my ac was 6.0. can I blame that on the crappy non dairy half and half I didn't know I was drinking for a week that apparently was shooting my morning numbers thru the roof?
but this is also the first full three months with half my met.
should I go back to the 1000????

anyway, if I am reading this right its says my lipids are good.:)

keep the faith.

frank, its you I owe my current health status too. keep doing what you do. my health status was baddddddd last summer.

liver, protein sugar ketones, cholesterol ,,,bs 588. all very scary.

it is you that showed me the way. I wish there were more I could say or do to thank you for your help. and everyone else who helped me get through the first 6 weeks low carbing.

YOU are the one who made the difference, you made the choices... if I hadn't joined DF I might still be mindlessly following the low-fat dogma, be 100lbs heavier and on my way to an early grave.

[foxl]

YAY, Kelli! I can only DREAM my lipids ever look like that! You are rockin! ;)

Frank, seriously, you pointed me toward Taubes, yes with reinforcement from XMenace and others, but without you I might have blown him off as a nutcase. So, I, too, am deeply obliged to say, thank you!

Question: are you currently losing weight steadily? My trigs were high at my last labs even though my total cholesterol was only 112, and it has been theorized that it might be because my body was burning more fat for fuel since I was strictly low-carbing.

[fgummett]

Well thanks... so maybe I'm the loudmouth who wouldn't shut up about it ;) but I only learned about Taubes etc.. after joining DF for which I have John (xMenace) to thank.

Hey... let's start a mutual admiration thread :)

Well, I'm going to thank both of you! When I came to this site I looked for the people who were getting the best BG control, tried to understand how they did and then applied their (your) methods to myself.

So I guess we could all have been in the low-fat early-grave club ... but thanks to folks like you, we're not.

Well done Kelli :) great numbers and I love the way that if we look after the carbs, the BG follows and then lipids and the blood pressure just fall into place. That's just sooo good :D

[yannah]

Oh yeah, John knows how indebted I feel and how much I love him!

[inkvisitor]

Great numbers...!

Fantastic Yannah!!!!!! I'm so glad for you.

Ya know, you take care of the glucose and it seems that alot of other things that were wrong just happen to fall into place.

Some of the luckier ones out there are evolved to the point to where processed carbs really don't have a huge impact. Then there's us, the unevolved :) I just don't think we process them the way alot of people do.

Congratulations and continued success Yannah.

:) 'us, the unevolved'. I like that. I'm very proud to say that I have not evolved to eat low-fat-high-fructose-super-refined-extruded-styrocarbs.

[MCS]

Well done, very well done

[Granny Shanny]

You go girl!!! ((((Kelli))))

(And where's this MAS thread? :D :D :D You have all made my journey so much easier - I need to join this mutual admiration society too!)

[yannah]

df rocks and yeah, i do allright too!

I have ony lost like 10 net lbs in the last 6 months. first 6 months about 70 lbs. truthfully my trigs fell in line, first set of labs low carbing and before my LDL HDL.

heh, guess I'm just "special," then! It's weird because my trig were completey fine (under 100) just 3 months earlier, and then I started doing SUPER low carb (about 15g total, not net, carbs per day), and they shot up to 180-something.

Anyway, just another mystery - thanks for responding!

yeah, I cannot do carbs. I test quite a bit so I know this.
I also know what carbs to do. and I know low fat **** ****s me up. I don't know what is in low fat stuff, but it kills me. wierd.
