Cholesterol levels

[Guest guest]

At the three-week mark, I decided to have have a lipid panel done,

cause I'm eating more meats, cheese, and eggs than I used to.

Total cholesterol was 215 (should be no higher than 200, they say).

That's higher than I used to be, around 175.

The good news is the HDL, good cholesterol, was very high.

The LDL, bad cholesterol, was slightly elevated.

The resulting " risk ratio " was very good.

(Triglycerides were low)

So, I plan on tweaking the diet....maybe eggs for breakfast twice a

week, no hard boiled egg in my lunch salad.

I also plan on bicycling more, I understand exercise reduces the LDL.

Maybe that will improve the numbers somewhat.
