Friday was Annual Physical Day 💓⚕️👩🏻⚕️
Opened up a vein & surrendered to the doctors:
Age: 52
Height: 5'5"/1.65m
No Medications
No Supplements, pills, powders, shakes, bars
Diet: Whole Foods Plant Based/Vegan
APRIL 2023
Total Cholesterol: 160
Triglycerides: 90
LDL: 84
HDL: 58
Ratio: 2.75
Weight: 123.4 lbs./55.8kg
BMI%: 20.5
BP: 90/60
A1C: 4.8
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!💚- 🍌🍌

That’s pretty inspirational 😎. I go Monday for blood draw. Looking forward to it for a change! Hoping cholesterol and ldl go down and hopeful adrenal glands show any improvement at all. Here’s hoping i follow your trend!

@Year: I wish I had done the labs prior to dropping the 45 pounds in 2020, but it was a second chance to have them done in 2022 when I changed from my cheesy-ful Vegetarian diet to Vegan. Getting rid of dairy and processed food really made a difference. I hope your Lipid panel shows off all your hard work! (If not, feel free to steal some of my strategies 🥸). @Moko and @Otb: Thank you, guys! Working hard and clean like you! @Joe: Cheers to living longer in health and mobility for our friends and family 💚😊

@Cindy: Even when I was vegetarian like you, the labs weren't awful. Hitting menopause changed everything, though. That's the real aging. Wrinkles are just a nuisance. Have a great Monday 💚 @Rachaele: numbers are the real deal, true. Organ health is even more important than a small waist. @Buenita: I want you to be healthy, too. When you're ready, when your "Why" moves to the forefront, I know you'll make the hard choices.❤️🩹

Fantastic to hear! Gives me some numbers to shoot for next time, I do like competition after all :-) You are definitely an inspiration

@Russell: I'm actually chasing @WritingWyo's Lipids. She's genetically gifted in cholesterol, but I'ma still gonna knock things down to hit her numbers! See you at the finish line 😀🏆🏃🏻🏁

JB, EXCELLENT! 🎉 Hard work and wise choices paying off. Plus, you are happy with your WOE, which is half the battle. I am thrilled for you. 👏

@Wisco: Thank you! I find things much easier when I commit 100% right off the bat. WFPB/Vegan is also a lot easier if you enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I'm very impressed with your weight loss to date, BTW. You're doing so great!
