December 22, 2010........It is finished!

This is my last post and now I will go on to my other blog.

The final results are in:
 

Name	Standard Range	11/20/2007	12/4/2008	12/8/2009	12/21/2010
CHOLESTEROL		213	229	267	232
TRIGLYCERIDE		70	77	78	92
HDL		60	57	76	76
LDL		139	157	175	138
RISK		3.6	4.0	3.5	3.1

  

As you can see.....My total cholesterol went down  13% this year and my LDL went down 21%.

The only thing I changed in my diet was to eliminate sugar.  Exercise pattern stayed the same which is the reason my HDL remains high, that's a good thing.

My experiment was a success in my eyes.  I was a bit disappointed, I guess I had unrealistic number drops in my head but I am satisfied with these numbers.  The only thing the doc noted on my lab report is "Ideal LDL should be below 130".  Crap, why couldn't she say, "Great job lowering the LDL 21%"?

I guess I need to add my weight in here too, my weight this morning was 129.8, that's 5# less than on November 2, another benefit of eliminating sugar.
