Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Ketogenic Diet
Triglycerides moving closer to the
HDL
-
cholesterol
number indicate increased insulin sensitivity - i.e. reduced insulin resistance & levels. An increase in the PSA doubling time implies a slowing of PCa growth. Who should consider the diet? Those with a poor triglycerides:HDL ratio (>2, IMO).

Days are good but night sweats and restless, poor sleep.
They tested my
cholesterol
at the same time and it was 8.6, with good
HDL
, but I'm still very worried about it and they keep pushing me toward statins.

Mono vs Poly?
I hope this is a place where I can seek advice regarding general nutrition. I recently adapted a high-fat low-carb diet and decided to take a lipids test. My LDL was off the charts, yet my HDL was really good, my triglycerides were 0.7, and I had no risk of diabetes. Looking back into the diet, I was

Bullying doctor!
Hi I have been reading here for a while but this is the first time I have posted, just feeling very upset. I am a 60 year old female and was called by my doc for a general health check. I forgot all about getting results as I had to have an op, and didn't call docs for about 2 months to get results.

High total cholesterol after a statin break
And my total
cholesterol
has shot up to 8.6 with my
HDL
1.1 and LDL 6 Triglycerides 3.4.. So I have to go back on statins.. I guess it's in my genes as I am really really fit. I cycles 50 - 60 miles a week, swim 70 80 lengths twice a week and eat very well..

Little improvements!
So I've been taking rosuvastatin g for 3 months now despite the muscle pain/crazy dreams/aching arms shoulders and respected cramps and have just had my bloods tested again. Total chol gone down from 6.7 to 5.3, hdl gone up from 1.68 to 1.89 (highest it's ever been) and lol reduced from4.68 to 3.07.
