Friday was Annual Physical Day 💓⚕️👩🏻⚕️
Opened up a vein & surrendered to the doctors:

APRIL 2023
Total Cholesterol: 160
Triglycerides: 90
LDL: 84
HDL: 58
Ratio: 2.75
Weight: 123.4 lbs./55.8kg
BMI%: 20.5

PREVIOUS RESULTS--MARCH 2022
Total Cholesterol: 206
Triglycerides: 124
LDL: 130
HDL: 51
Ratio: 4.0
Weight: 128 lbs./58kg
BMI%: 21.3
BP: 88/62
A1C: 4.9
Prior Diet/Old WOE: Vegetarian, supplemented with a multivitamin, no medications.
So I didn't hit my goals of LDL=70 and HDL=60, but I got pretty close. Because I only lost about 5 pounds, I chalk up the results to change of diet and increased exercise.
My diet starts with single-ingredient food, everything raw or cooked from scratch. The only processed items consumed are those that I cannot make at home: oils, vinegars, some condiments like mustard and teriyaki sauce. Minimally processed items include coffee beans and dried beans-legumes-grains. Otherwise, if it has a barcode, I don't buy it. Restrictive? I guess if you are addicted to chips and cookies and drive-thru food, it's limited. Personally, I love cooking and experimenting with new ingredients from the produce section, so it's been the best thing ever!
Happy Sunday, Everyone!💚- 🍌🍌
