    Is that your first scan? I ask because from what I read the bigger concern is if the number is growing. If it's steady or only growing slowly you're probably fine, especially with that BP. I'm with you, I wouldn't touch a statin under any circumstance.

    Any natural stuff that would help?

    @ Jim... yes I agree with you that it’s more about the direction rather than any absolute value. A friend of mine, a vet, pointed out that your heart can develop small parallel tributaries slowly over time that will serve as a natural bypass around any blocked arteries. Well, if it’s true it’s a nice idea and one that makes sense to me.

    The problem with statins as I see it is that you are more likely to develop diabetes on statins and metabolic syndrome is according to some the underlying cause that drives heart disease in the first place.

    Ha! I respawned as FastFlexFit but have now retrieved my account as Adm4n. So we continue...


    So it's been about 20 months since I last posted and WOW! haven't you grown! Yes, I got back to my starting point and put everything back on !!! From 79kg I went back to 91kg. Too much ice cream too often, too many of my favourite treats too often. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted but I am drawing the line again.

    So to re-start again I am:

    SW 91kg (200lb)
    CW 89 kg (196lb)
    GW 80 kg (175lb)

    What's new? That photo of me is well out of date but I will leave it up for a couple of days because it reminds me where I used to be only a couple of years ago.

    Haha @ jade pearl - roast pork is where my 50% Chinese and 50% English heritage intersect and both parts claim ownership.

    @volgirl and @LiLee thanks for dropping in. Yes, that roast pork poin will last me four days of meals on the OMAD diet. Day 2, made wraps with lower carb wraps; Day 3 add some apple cider vinegar with Vietnamese sriracha chilli sauce to make instant sweet and sour pork etc.
