Your numbers are envious. Other than TG and HDL, i will only bother total/hdl ratio which should be under 5 and you already have it. With these three markers LDL needs to be forgotten.

That's what matters most based on the modern, non-conventional lipidologists like Ken Sikaris, Paul Mason etc. The optimal ratio is 0.8 and you are well below it, well done. If im at your place, i wont even bother to look at my LDL anyway. But because your total is 5.8, that means your LDL is...

Yes as i mentioned in the post i did 13 hour water fast. I could hardly lure NHS to do a basic lipid test, i don't think they are able to go any deeper at this point. I will need to go private for that which i plan in few months time once i have stabilised my diet and markers. My HDL moved from...

Hi guys, i have just received my lipid report after 3 months of lowering saturated diary fats (double cream to single cream) and reducing cream cheese, clotted cream and moving to filtered coffee. Nothing else was changed, had to increase monosaturated fats (olive oil etc) to keep my optimal...

This is still a controversial topic and studies suggest ghrelin can increase or decrease insulin secretion. Ghrelin also has some affect on blood glucose regulation. Here are couple of papers to chew on; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4058737/...

Regarding carnivore, as much as i love meat, i still don't believe being 100% carnivore is a healthy way of living in the long-run. I guess as Dr. B. says one should take 30 gms of carbs from green vegetables as they contain phytochemicals and I would also argue that even in a paleo setting...

Well noted all the suggestions and they go inline with my research and the literature too, that is, adding more protein and fats. I am in no-way going to add carbs back as still my BG and a1c sits on top of the list even if i look like a dead-ghost ! My second quarter April-June this year, i...

I expect that but i love double cream, however it raised my LDL to >9....

And how's your LDL behaving on high fat dairy if I may ask?

Hi guys, has anyone any idea or point me to some good video/study that shows how can I add back some subcutaneous fats without hurting my waistline or visceral fats? I have lost quite a bit of weight (mostly fats) in the previous months and even though my stats look great, to most of people I...

Thanks everyone. @Antje77 I was not officially diagnosed of it. But now i am learning a lot about health and conditions so I went through some scientific literature and some medical websites to understand some of my symptoms pre low-carb. I had to pin it down to LSN which is exactly what I had...

Hi there, just a quick one. I had this chronic LSN (Laryngeal Sensory Neuropathy) with irritating cough after certain foods. I tried to eliminate Lactose and it did improve somehow not completely gone though. I could never figure out what exacerbated it all those 10 years. However, after...

This is interesting. I posted earlier here that my WBCs went down from 7 to 5 after starting low-carb and below chart confirms that. Its interesting to see some other lab results. I see though the thyroid functions went high after a high-protein diet a little? What's your experience ?

Hi @AloeSvea that was very kind of you to spend some time on writing this note. To answer your question, yes i had high visceral fats (though not TOFO) and i can see that in my old pictures and realise it now better than ever. And yes, my fasting insulin came at 3 after i regulated my a1c and BG...

Few of them i asked to get it checked because of family history. Few of them are above 40 which is routinely tested in UK. Others are not in UK so they can go test anywhere, very cheap. I used to get my all labs (that NHS doesn't want to do) when i visit Egypt, but now thanks to "red list" i am...

tested for potato again last week after a year without - rise from 4.5 to 6.8 on four very small new potatoes, so that remains unacceptable. Regarding above please note that if you have not been eating carbs for a while a single testing will not be accurate. You will i guess need to eat the same...

Average person hits 8 but stays very little there, that's the difference between a diabetic and us. If we hit an 8, it will take few hours for it to go back to close to 6 and what i understand is that its high fluctuations in BG or high BG that stays there for longer time that causes long-term...

Now consider if this population goes on the real food, low-carb diet, their average is going to come down below 90.

Thanks, appreciate your input. I don't have D paraphernalia but the reason i used to check BGs of my close friends and family members in the start was because i was confused as to what is the normal value. Now, if i know a close one's family history or seeing that he/she might have metabolic...

Yes, i mean the non-diabetic normal human being should have this range and we should try to keep as close to it as possible.
