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

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

I shared this in the general forum as well for those nay sayers!

Someone pass the bacon please!
