john042299 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 At about 15 days into my first W30, i decided i wanted to get some blood work done. My numbers are below. I was a bit surprised at me elevated total cholesterol levels. Prior to this W30, i'd say that my compliance levels with paleo were about 60-40. I'm hoping that after about another month when i retake this test, my numbers will be less alarming. Cholesterol: 241 Triglycerides: 45 HDL: 70 LDL Calculated: 162 HDL% Calc.: 29 VLDL: 9 LDL Direct: 152 HGB A1C: 5.4 GLU Fast: 79 C Reactive Protein: <0.5 Thoughts anyone? Thanks.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2013 Your triglycerides and HDL numbers are outstanding. That keeps your modestly high total number from being scary in my opinion. And for that matter, 241 is just above the intermediate risk range of 200-239.

CAK911 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yeah, the first thing I noticed was the awesome triglycerides number -- I have a genetic predisposition to high triglycerides. I've managed to bring mine down a lot (70 points!) with Whole30 in the past few months, but they're still a little elevated. I'm hoping I can bring them down some more.

john042299 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. According to Robb Wolf's book, my A1C is a high so I need to work on that number. He prefers that to be hovering around 4. And anything above 5 is alarming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
