Here is my success story..not much about weight loss but general health
The annual checkup on 2016 showed I was high risk diabetic and border line for cholesterol numbers. Since high blood pressure symptom runs on my family, I decided to take care of general health better. I started strength training following overall body workout 2-3 times a day and tracking my food intake. Here are the numbers for three year (overnight fasting and measured in morning).
Parameters 2016 2017 2018 2019
Glucose 155 98 97 88
Total Chol. 224 225 200 179
BP 131/88 130/79 113/79 104/73
BMI 23.7 25.6 23.1 21.1
The glucose and cholesterol numbers are well within the healthy range. I lost about 15lbs during the time frame. I was not overweight earlier but my body composition was really bad. I think i lost most of visceral fat during the journey that might have given me trouble later in life if it was not lowered.
Happy Friday!
