Greyman 28,439 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Everything has had the figures manipulated to make what used to be normal now abnormal, it’s there opening que to introduce you to a life of statins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,140 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Don’t take the statins they will feck you up, improve your diet more nuts and seeds and clean whole foods nothing processed or dairy no smoking or drinking. re test via numan or the like and you will see it’s back to what it should be.. 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,140 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Track your foods make sure not high in saturated fats or trans fats.. I couldn’t belive how much sat fat I was consuming a day until I started tracking my macros.. you should have no more than 30 grams of sat fat a day and some days I was eating 100! mainly all from dairy products. So everything low fat or 0% fat from now on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,140 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 And buy some kefir proven to lower cholesterol extremely quickly.. lots of fruits cut back on the meat especially red meats. increase your exercise job done 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,585 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 They'll try and push statins on you , it's your call if you take them or not but do some research, better off going the natural route through diet adjustment, not all fat is bad neither is cholesterol , eggs, dairy and meat all good in moderation...no need to be a fanny tracking your food and that 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me anyhow. especially in regards to portion sizes and good fats bad fats ect, not for everyone but it was good learning for myself who’s just ate whatever I want most my life.. monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are good the rest shite.. as are any seed oils.. olive or avocado/coconut oils you want. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,156 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I would disagree with a lot of what lurcherman has written.... Cholesterol is not just one thing....there's HDL ...LDL...triglycerides....there's a whole bunch more to it... I do agree about not getting on statins though But saturated fat is not the enemy it was once supposed to be... There are millions of people out there now living on carnivore diets and doing very well with extreme high levels of LDL Cholesterol they should be dead but of course there not... There's now loads of info out there and plenty of doc's on YouTube if you can't be arsed to look at scientific data..that's not sponsored by vegan or processed food companies 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've really let my diet go this Christmas and had a week long cold. Obviously I can't say it was totally because of my diet but it certainly felt like it. Hardly drink, green tea and a couple of pieces of dark chocolate each day, lean meats, fish once a week, good breakfast of fruit and kefir and 6-10 fruit and veg a day. lots of walking, 8 hours plus sleep each night and I genuinely feel 100% better. More energy, rarely ill, no anxiety. I do eat red meat, but high quality lean meat where possible 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOMO 26,156 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I have Greek yogurt which like kefir is supposed to help gut health....of course both are dairy products.... Which when you think about it ....its helping your gut because of all the fibre and grains we eat.... Fiber is another big con we have been sold over the last 50 years....you really don't need it ....its responsible for things like chrones disease and ulcerative colitis not to mention IBS that millions of people suffer with including myself not to long ago 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
