Just got my blood test results back........

[ScottFern]

Well, I just got back from the doctor's office and I am still in complete shock......

My results:

Triglycerides: 300 (Normal<150) HORRIBLY HIGH
HDL cholesterol: 28 (Normal=40+) HORRIBLY LOW
LDL cholesterol: 107 (Normal<= 130) Good?

My liver counts
ALT: 94 (Normal=2-60) My father passed away in March from a fatty liver and this has me stressing now. However, this MAY be part of my crappy diet as well.

I am in complete shock and scared pretty much sh!tless. Things have got to change. I told my gf and she already wants to get on a diet so we better change fast.

I am only 22 btw.

[CRXican]

wtf do you eat?

 

[ScottFern]

I am about 6'1" and 230lbs. which is 30-40lbs over what the estimated normal weight is. Yeah no kidding guys, I already got the wake up call I needed. At least I am smart enough to see a problem and move on from there. I am just put back by this information even though I saw it coming. I needed a slap in the face.

To the OP: It's nice that you're willing to change your habits, I'm not sure what the ramifications of these particular numbers are, but it would be nice to know what your plans are to rectify this.

 

[leftyman]

quit order your food thru a clowns mouth, eat things that sprout from mother earth

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

wow...I'm 6'-1", 250 and my cholesterol is marginally high....what do you eat, because my diet sucks.

I just ate chili burritos for lunch.

i was under the impression that having low HDL fats was a good thing. Opposed to LDL , HDL are the "bad" fats taht break up and cause the walls of your arteries to nick and that leads to clotting and blockage. I guessi would be bad to have em too low, but i wouldn't go out of my way to pound McD's just to get those up.

 

[ScottFern]

More water less pop. More fruit less potato chips. Home cooked meals instead of buffalo wings. Also, thanks for the positive responses and questions and to all the retards who have nothing but sarcastic remarks just stay out. I know what I was doing was wrong and I am now focused on changing it.

You have them in reverse, HDL is considered the good kind.

HDL is good, LDL is bad.
