NSV-Blood WorK Results

Options
I wanted to share my blood work results. I started a low carb high fat keto diet late October 2013. I have to say that at first trying this diet I was concerned about what would happen to my Cholesterol. I was that person that thought animal fat makes you fat and puts you at risk for heart disease. I spent 9 years being vegetarian before I went keto, and was over 200 lbs those 9 years. I will let my blood speak for itself.

LabTest Units 11/14/13 01/23/14 04/10/14

Total Chol  mg/dL  197.00  210.00  158.00 

Chol/HDL ratio  5.20  3.80  2.70 

Triglycerides  mg/dL  54.00  49.00  56.00 

CHD Risk  1.40  0.80  0.50 

LDL mg/dL  148.00  145.00  89.00 

Low Density Lipo mg/dL  11.00  10.00  11.00 

HDL Chol mg/dL  38.00  55.00  58.00 

A1C  %  8.40  5.70  5.30 

Glucose mg/dL  109.00  87.00  81.00 

I do have a scale victory but that is still in progress, I have another 50 lbs I would like to lose.

Thanks for sharing in my victory!

    The numbers don't lie. While there are many reasons to lose weight, none can trump better health. Great work.
