Re: Fat absorption/ cholesterol

[Guest guest]

Now I'm feeling gyped.....I am now on cholo. medication. My bad

stuff was 120 but because of the diabetes doc wants it below 100 so

now it's Lipitor for me. Rats!

Well, my malabsorber is working well....my last cholesterol count was

102 and that was non-fasting. I think that's a bit too low. Not

exactly sure.

[Guest guest]

My cholesterol as of last week is:

157 (over 2 yrs out...last year it was 149)

Triglyceride: 57

HDL: 85

Calculated LDL: 59

What do you fat detectives think about what I am absorbing? Pretty

normal reading huh?

,

All of the above! I exercise and body build 3-4 times a week. I add

2T of flaxseed meal to my cottage cheese or Keto hot cereals in the

morning and I take NOW Omega-3 capsules daily. Feels good to know

that it is all working like it should!

I would love to have a survey of everyone's HDL to see just

how high everyones is and what they are doing to get it even

higher!

Thanks

Mine runs in that range, too. And there's a rumor we malabsorb less with

time. Mmmm. Not fats/oils, anyway

I am not sure I understand the good, the bad and the ugly of

cholesterol readings.

Yours is 94 and mine is 157. My HDL is 85 but does that make my

over cholesterol reading as good as a 94?? Ugh..this makes me crazy!

(I understand that the 85 stands proud protecting my arteries

against clogging up.)

It is an acquired taste lol.. But truly, the banana nut cereal with

a touch of caramel SF syrup or butter rum and 2T of flaxseed is very

good. The apple cinnamon with cinnamon SF syrup and a handful of

blueberries is VERY good (or maybe it's growing on me

Funny how these things start tasting good after awhile lol!
