Hi there,
This forum has helped me a lot, i thank the dudes for creating it and all the ppl who helped me by sharing there insights.
Ok day 28… i have lost 8kgs, had my bloodtest today and results are surprising.

First up… i am officially in ketosis … yeah!!!..my ketones are 2+ as the report said.

My last total cholesterol in sept 17 was 6.36156 mmol. Where as today it was 5.48 (it droped surprisingly). But my ldl is high at 3.91 and hdl is low at 1.23. Triglycerides are good at 0.75.

Most surprising was my electrolytes… all within range.

My doctor was not very supportive of keto diet and suggestes that i try something mild … with slower weight loss… some thing like 0.5 kg a week (hehehe). He was also concerned about my fat intake… but had no answer when said that my total cholesterol has droped with this diet.

He was reluctant to reduce or change my bloodpressure medicine. But has asked me send him logs of next weeks bp readings… twice a day.

I am happy with the results and wanted to share it with you guys

Congrats on the kick-ass results.

Don’t worry, your doctor is complete out of his depth… you have far exceeded his training in nutrition and metabolic health just by reading KF.com for a few days. You may wish to do your own experiments on titrating down your BP meds on your own while tracking your BP to make sure nothing untoward is happening (pretty unlikely).
