rconrad7800's Journal, 22 July 2014

12% carb 67% fat 21% protein - a day on the run but still managed to keep the ratios pretty close and calories are under 1500 by day end. Maybe I'll see a reward on the scale tomorrow. Had biometrics performed for health insurance purposes for work. My total cholesterol was over the recommended 200 but my triglycerides were 77 - the optimal goal was anything less than 150; my HDL was 73 - optimal goal is anything higher than 60. The end result was a cholesterol/HDL Ratio of 3.2 which the optimal goal is anything less than 4.5. I am not going to let the total cholesterol and LDL which were considered borderline high bother me too much. The one measurement that did bother me was the fasting glucose of 109 = pre-diabetes. I am truly bummed by that - no sugar, no pasta, no white flour, no cookies, no cake, no ice cream. I have had a 1/2 pc of pie and 2 cups of melon in the last 2 mos. This tells me that even on this diet my genetics are against me. I have to get this wt off and improve this number, if possible. The recommendation is to do some light wt lifting.

Im with you there my blood sugars were always over 100 in the morning, yesterday it was 71! Yay finally, I gave up the dairy other than butter, that was really hard but I saw results instantly.

Who knows, maybe another 10 lbs and the pre-diabetes reading will go away. Don't be down on yourself, you are working towards getting healthier and on your way to that healthy body, you are going to see numbers now that won't be there when you get to your true healthy weight. Keep your head up, you are doing an excellent job.

You know that the blood sugars will only improve with weight loss. Keep your eye on it and watch it get better! Good luck

Was reading book on LCHF and it says, while the scale is not the object of this way of eating, it is the fat loss that we will experience throughout our body that makes this way of eating work. So look for the inches lost, all over the body. This is better than the first, as the scale has never been a friend of mine. Woo Hoo! I got this!!!
