Tests came back n I saw the results and I have high cholesterol as well as high Triglycerides

I'm 34, 6"1ish 228lbs
Relatively healthy or so I thought
Exercise 2-3 week

I dont what to think I've been in depression all damm day

maybe stop trying so hard srs

Don’t worry about it, just make sure you could see your six pack, everything else falls in place by itself.

I hear the keto diet reverses cholesterol. Srs

What are the numbers?

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.

Yes I drink heavy once a week

I also took the test after having a turkey bacon sandwich I wonder if that had any effect

My numbers

Cholesterol
Your Value
261 mg/dL
Standard Range
<200 mg/dL

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

HDL
Your Value
57 mg/dL
Standard Range
>40 mg/dL

eh i wouldn't worry too much about it but keep an eye on it.

i had high triglycerides last time i got bloodwork done but i firmly believe it was due to heavy drinking.

stopped drinking now so curious to see what it'll be.

I'm young and exercise regularly so this was unsettling

Bump

Lmao ur fine. Like I said retest and see after you stop drinking.

Eat better. Fast some. Your liver is responsible for clearing cholesterol if its ****ed from drinking or constantly eating it can't as well.

Cholesterol is a scam to sell medication

Thanks yea I will

This is the first cholesterol test I've ever had done so it came as a shock that it's high lol

Covid19 vaxx are a scam

I think cholesterol is real and important

Can I tell you a secret. Cholesterol is good for you. Aside from that anti Cholesterol pills aka statins cause cancer within ten years.

Should probably stop believing doctors. I’m srs

No he's right. Newest literature shows cholesterol numbers dont coralate to bad health unless tris are really high with low hdl.

Your numbers don't warrant any concern. And just one test means nothing. You need to be doing yearly blood draws.

6 1 230 is pretty big thick

What's your bf nominal range for normie normie non lifter probably 180-190 athletic 190-200

If I weigh under 205lbs I look like a skeleton lol

100% correct. Cholesterol is so vital to the body we synthesize it ourselves in the liver. Doctors are concerned about cholesterol levels because its usually whats comprised of clots in the arteries. However, its actually insulin thats the culprit (sugar):

-you drink a soda.
-to neutralize that sugar your body pumps out a chit-ton of insulin from the pancreas.
-insulin flows through the body in high concentrations damaging the arterial wall.
-white bloodcells "patch" up the damaged areas of the inner arterial wall forming a scab just like if you cut yourself on your arm
-Its cholesterol that then gets stuck on those arterial repairs.

starches and grains and even whole fruits are fine because they take time to digest (due to the fiber) so insulin concentration stays low in the blood. Its sugar in the form on candy and sodas and "juice concentrates" Its sugar and alcohol (both of which spike insulin) thats the culprit of the problems with the western diet.

As for "statins" or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, while inconclusive on the cancer findings, are said to be linked to early onset dementia and even alzheimers. It slows the production of cholesterol needed for the brain because the drug crosses the blood brain barrier.

aren't u the guy who posted a thread about coughing up some nasty pink chit?

see a doctor

Yea nobody is debating that cholesterol is good for you, but it excess it can't be a good thing

Lol

up it to 4-5 times a week

and what do you eat?

its prolly fine though

my cousin once had that and he was like 135 at the time

Yea im gonna start doing cardio

Wow so it's not necessarily related solely to weight if ge had it at 135

my most recent blood test indicated i have high cholesterol too. forgot the numbers. but i've started cutting with IF.

scrolled through a bunch of redditor's posts about high cholesterol and cutting, and many of them said that when they got their blood tested again, their cholesterol was even higher. apparently after losing weight, it gets higher and then takes awhile to come back down.

dont really understand the science, don't care to either. apparently all the science about cholesterol is bullchit too.

i dont have prediabetes tho.

Whats IF ?
If intermit fasting i do it all the time

And damm

You're 3 inches taller and nearly 60 pounds heavier than me.

I know no one thinks BMI is valid but that classifies you as obese. Is your BF% low or high is the question.

It says obese lol but I'm not obese at all just muscular n little chubby around d gut mostly beer
