Hi all, I had a blood test in my last days of intermittent fasting / Paleo and have been ever since, for about 9 months.
I just got my latest blood test results back today and most look okay. But my cholesterol numbers seem weird. Total cholesterol and LDL are down, from 267 to 236 and from 189 to 159, respectively, but my HDL has fallen from 62 to 35 and my triglycerides have risen from 80 to 213(!).
Perhaps my HDL is lower because I'm not eating anywhere near as much PUFA as I used to? And aren't triglycerides usually elevated in high carb diets?
They tested my testosterone, but omitted estrogen! Androgen level, glucose, ferritin, prolactin, kidney and liver all normal. My TSH is 1.5. I wasn't tested before, unfortunately.
Here are the main numbers:
I try to eat every couple of hours or so. My most commonly eaten foods are:
- 0% goat's milk, full-fat enzyme-free cheese, eggs
- OJ, grapes, melon, papaya, persimmon
- Chicken liver, beef (steak or stew), lamb, scallops, venison, chicken breast, oysters
- Potato, zucchini, carrot salad, kale, leeks, broccoli
- Coffee
- Sugar, honey, salt, coconut oil
- Homemade jelly, milk chocolate
- Once or twice a week, pasta or rice, made in homemade broth
Here is my 3 month Cronometer nutritional summary, with and without supplements (sorry for the small font).
My metabolism has improved dramatically. Morning temp is usually 36.5C with a pulse of 70ish, rising throughout the day to just above 37.0C and 75ish.
I would appreciate your help in analysing my cholesterol numbers!
