Been strict Keto and IF for 3 months now. Weights has gone from 254.6 to 207. Feel good but was kind of shocked to see these results. Blood work was done Friday Nov 30th.
Cholesterol 261
Triglycerides 175
LDL. 184
Non-HDL Cholesterol 219
HDL 42
Thought they would be lower. A1C was good at 5.0 and so was everything else. Any thoughts?
Your cholesterol doesn’t look concerning, but your triglycerides do not make sense at all, way too high. That’s not medical advice, by the way.
How would you define a successful day of keto eating? What is a typical IF day for you?
My triglycerides are always high. Have been that way my whole life. Blood work from a couple years ago was 593. This is actually the lowest it’s ever been I was just hoping for lower. On a daily basis I follow 16/8 IF schedule and do at least one 36 hr fast/week. I did a 72 hr fast about a week ago. Diet is strict Keto but my macros are around 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs. Gonna continue and have bloodwork done again in 3 months.
