Week 12

Day 79

I just got my blood profile back and some amazing changes!  Checkout the Post Assessment page for the full account, but the highlights are as follows:

• triglycerides 103 mg/dl, down from 126 mg/dl
• cholesterol 159 mg/dl, down from 219 mg/dl
• LDL 94 mg/dl, down from 144 mg/dl
• HDL/LDL Ratio .468, up from .347

The HDL level (good cholesterol) actually dropped too, from 50 mg/dl to 44 mg/dl, which isn't the direction I want it to go, but the overall HDL/LDL ratio improved.  All in all, the reduction in overall kilocalorie intake and fat intake is obvious.  I will look for an improvement in HDL levels by looking for more unsaturated fat intake and increased aerobic exercise.  A good day!
