Yesterday I got back my new blood tests. Check out how my keto diet has affected my body.
For comparison I have the same figures from:
3/20/2014 | 1/6/2015 | 5/4/2015 | |
Cholesterol | 142 | 135 | 161 |
Triglycerides | 160 | 96 | 75 |
HDL, Cholesterol | 43 | 45 | 49 |
LDL (calculated) | 67 | 71 | 97 |
My triglycerides are WAY down compared to when I was eating carbs, more than anything else this is a very good sign. HDL is up but so is my LDL. This lab doesn’t do a thorough analysis of the LDL particle sizes so it’s difficult to say that number is bad or not.
