    Round 223
    May 12 - May 21, 2023

    Please join us starting on 5/12 for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 223!

    Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.

    Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.

    Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!

    Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. You have only one hour to edit your post. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.

    FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

    If you feel your post is too lengthy, you can add spoilers to temporarily hide the information. It is readily available by tapping the SPOILER bar. To create a Spoiler just type or copy [ Spoiler ] xxx [ /Spoiler ] Omit the spaces within the brackets and put your information where I have xxx.

    Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

    Wishing everyone a great round!
    50ish year old Female, 5'8" - Starting Weight: 256lbs
    Ultimate Goal: 180lbs
    Starting weight for R223: 219.3 lbs
    R223 Goal Weight: 217.3 (98.6kg) for this round
    Method is low carb/calm/moderate activity.
    Focus is evening eating this round - Trying different approaches, which I will comment on. I want to eat just enough at night to not have hunger pangs while sleeping. Not be overfull. Not eat treats my body can’t get energy from at night.

    @Huango @quiltingjaine and any others interested. Continuing the cholesterol test result convo over here since round 222 has ended. Seemed more productive here.

    @Huango, that dish looks delicious, and great as a meal. If I were single, and lived alone, I could see adapting to FoK, but living real life with husband, kids, grandkids, and friends, I think I need to eat more traditionally, just better than I am.

    So, I listened/watched several Youtubes and podcasts. You can check them out as well. I certainly would love feedback on if I am listening to quacks. :P

    What do others know on this topic?

    The CHOLESTEROL PANEL Explained | Dr. Robert Lustig & Dr. Casey Means
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUaOqiIJbyM (note, it starts oddly)

    Was very interesting, and listened to it twice.

    Take away: Total cholesterol is “meaningless”, it is the components that matter. If LDL is high, before being concerned, the Trigliceride/HDL should be calculated. Best under 1.5. For Caucasians, >2.5 is bad, and >1.5 for African americans, and lower is better. LDL is best under 100, and HDL really should be greater than 60 if you can, but this number apparently has a genetic component. Sugar turns into VLDL which turns into sdLDL, which is the bad component of ones LD that is not broken out by the test, but can be extrapolated by ones Tri and VLDL numbers. Remove sugar from diet to best get numbers in line. To check on liver function, which relates to all the above, look at ones ALT. General population one should be under 25, and 20 for African americans. Lastly, if one can obtain a fasting insulin test, the number should be under 6.0.

    My own numbers on printout:
    Total Cholesterol 229 which is greater than 200 and flagged “high”, but ignoring for now
    Triglycerides, after 13 hour fast were 88 and below the 150 (good)
    HDL, 64 > 40 (good)
    LDL, 147 > 130 and flagged High
    Non-HDH, 165 and >160, and flagged high
    VLDL 18 and perfect
    Ratio Chol/HDL 3.6 and perfect

    But now my tri/HCL ratio is 1.375 and nicely under 1.5, so according to video that is perfect. My ALT is 13, which is nicely under 25, so liver is running “good”. VLDL is great, so my “bad” LDL should be made up more of the hbLDL which is cardiac neutral.

    All and all, I feel better about the number, BASED ON THIS VIDEO.

    How to Read and Understand Your Cholesterol Levels
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBXOB3J3b6w

    Take aways: cholesterol important for skin, hormones, brain activity. Side effect of low cholesterol and statins is memory loss. Discussed LDL and HDL as cholesterol transport vehicles. LDL should be under 130. HDL male >40, female >47. Triglicerides <150. Tri/HDL < 2 good, >6 bad. Clean up cholesterol by removing sugars, refined carbs, and alcohol. Taking statins based on total C is wrong. 75% cholesterol is made in body, 25% is from diet.

    Podcasts from Optimal health daily:
    Listened to episodes 2124 and 1865:
    Take aways: get soluble fiber (removes cholesterol), Omega 3’s good, 25% of all your cholesterol is in your brain making up the myelin and essential for learning and memory, sleep is key. Stains have memory loss as side effect.
    “Health rarely comes out of a bottle”

    7 Foods That Lower Bad Cholesterol (LDL)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVaFEanJAUs

    Take aways: ask for Advanced Lipid profile test LDL-P, sdLDL leads to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity and is atherogenic due to glycation and oxidation. sdLDL number is 3X predictor of cardiac disease. Statins will lower “total cholesterol” but do not lower sdLDL and may even increase it. Can lower via diet (cut out sugar and refined carbs), exercise, TUDCA. Good foods are avocados, fish oil w/ Omega 3/EPA, EVOO (the real stuff), pistachios, dark chocolate (no sugar :'( ), almonds, walnuts.

    Will keep listening. Definitely looking for discussion, in any direction. Enjoy!

    On another note, I looked at my parents labs and med lists, and a lot of the above makes sense in the context of their health statuses.

    I’ve never tried one, but I ordered a Renpho that has good reviews. My home scale is Renpho so I’m hoping results are consistent. I will let you know after I try it out!

    We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19

    What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

    People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 6 years with amazing results!

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
