I completed my 60 hour fast. I think that I became slightly dehydrated towards the end. My blood glucose was tested at 67 and my LDL cholesterol was through the roof 301. I had a blood pressure of 130/60. I will have to get a better test of my blood at a later date to follow up with less impact from fasting. Today was biometric screening at work, and their tests were done with a finger prick by the local clinic. I want to find more technical analysis. Perhaps I will get a blood draw from the hospital.
I am curious what other people's experience with fasting, Ketogenic diet, and blood cholesterol levels have been. It is my understanding that low carb diet a will elevate cholesterol and so will fasting and dehydration. What are your experiences?

My last test was 10 months ago and my weight is down from 283 to 221. My belly circumference is down from 51 to 40 inches. Low carb and Fasting methods. I just added resistance training and walks about 2 weeks ago.

I got the full blood panel last month. All levels were good. LDL was on the higher-end but still in the safe range. I am only 5 pounds above my BMI weight so that may help (however, until 9 months ago I was obese ALL my adult life). For me it is REALLY important that I take Hi-Lyte Electrolyte Concentrate when fasting. Taking an electrolyte concentrate each day is REQUIRED for me to not have adverse 'symptoms' and dehydration. Good luck!

Here's a good video to add to your knowledge. Good job on 60 hours!

Thank you added, I will definitely be more careful with hydrating while I fast in the future. And jenjabba, I appreciate the tip. I followed the link to David Feldmen and his research is fascinating. I am not worrying about one test too much, but it did spark curiosity about blood lipids. I will get another test done before I draw conclusions. My goal was to find basal blood glucose and it appears to be 67. I will be getting a meter soon too.
