Stop eating bacon and go vegetarian.

My cholesterol has always been low as a vegetarian.

Modern medicine hasn't figured out the effects of cholesterol.

My last bloodwork, the Dr said I have high bad and high good. He then flat out admitted he doesn't know what that means.

At least he was honest.

natty
BMI > 30

got some news

You can try changing the fats you eat to the ones that produce HDL more than LDL. You need to get fit, also.

Aren’t you the guy that can’t run a mile and a half in less than 15 mins. There’s a correlation here, if you’re generally unfit and your diet isn’t great, then your numbers aren’t going to be amazing either, it’s really not hard to be healthy.

My numbers

Cholesterol

Standard Range
<200 mg/dL

Triglycerides
Your Value
183 mg/dL
Standard Range
<150 mg/dL

HDL
Your Value

lol

that's hardly raised. Your HDL is pretty irrelevant. Post your LDL instead, that's the 'bad' cholesterol.

This was mine from September last year

Chol <5.18 mmol/L 7.32 (++)
HDL >1 mmol/L 1.67
LDL <3 mmol/L 4.85 (++)

made some dietary changes (generally removal for saturated fats, and this was last week

Chol <5.18 mmol/L 6.4 (++)
HDL >1 mmol/L 1.47
LDL <3 mmol/L 3.94 (++)
Trig <2 mmol/L 2.17

and no you should not be eating before if you want accurate chol results

You better go to a doctor and get some advice. Don't get too stressed about this. Be positive.

Its not, not eating meat that makes chol good, its the fact youre getting so much fiber. Otherwise diet has no effect on blood Chol.

It's well known that drug companies have been creating diseases for the past 50 years to sell drugs to you. I wouldn't worry about it.

With studies on vegetarians and vegans having better bloodwork they do note that vegetarians tend to be people who are healthier in general with exercise. Plus the extra fruits and veggies help with the fiber like you said.

Although I've blown the diet with too many starches with little fiber like bread in the past and gained weight. I'm surprised my cholesterol has remained low and I'm 51. My parents were on cholesterol meds at 40. I've never been on cholesterol or high blood pressure meds.

More cardio
Increase fiber
Mild weight reduction
Red Rice Yeast
Reduce saturated Fat intake

Choley in food has little correlation with blood levels but high saturated fat intake can for 25% or so of patients
Choley is typically most driven genetically, and these other factors can mitigate high levels.

Your body is repairing damage, so get your liver in top shape, stop eating vegetable oils and eat non-inflammatory fats. Remove anything processed from your diet.

Some stuff is genetic and you're going to be prone to it. I hopped on the pills a few years ago... just a small 10mg dose and it's helped. Not a bad idea to cut out drinking and carbs/sugars in general if you can. Every man in my family has had high cholesterol by the time they hit 40 and most of us are fit.

Stress reduction is also an issue. I remember my insurance company's nurse mentioned that high stress can increase cholesterol levels when I had an extremely stressful job.

Really the only thing to be worried about is high triglycerides and low hdl. Slightly high tris aren't going to kill you.

Also get retested in a few weeks and I bet they're not the same.

If you drink stop.
No, high ldl-c and apo-b are independent risk factors for CVD:

Care to link some of these studies on vegetarianism and/or veganism?

Your numbers don't warrant any concern. And just one test means nothing. You need to be doing yearly blood draws.
This is completely false. Numerous studies, including RCTS (which show causality), as well as population studies, and randomized mendelian control trials, show that high ldl is independently linked to heart disease.

That doesn't work for everyone. Often times people that have elevated cholesterol levels is because their own body makes it in excess. People in this case ironically need to eat cholesterol in their diet to tell the body to "stop" making so much of it. People that eat dietary cholesterol can therefore have more control over the amount of cholesterol in their blood at any given time.

I still eat eggs, butter and coconut oil which is loaded in saturated fat, but in moderation. Although sometimes I overdo it with the butter

But I also eat a ton of fruits and veggies, especially since Christmas as I overhauled my diet. Then I have protein powder, low fat greek yogurt, oats, brown rice and a glass of wine every night.
