Today I am angry and in self doubt about my meals
Today I went in for another HBA1C and Lipid profile test, since my wife was getting some tests done at the Lab
Results compared to a month back
Deterioration in results
My total cholesterol has gone up to 214 from 190. LDL has blasted off the roof to 163 from 133 and Triglycerides also increased a bit to 133 from 122
Improvements :
HDL increased to 40 up from 36. Finally in the 40's (good range)
HbA1c dropped to 5.7 down from 5.9
Is the LCHF failing in my case ? I am down to under 50 gms of carbs a day ? I am definitely having a lot of fat, maybe I have overdone it. I just thought it was safe.
Cholesterol going up by 25 points and LDL by 30 points in a month definitely indicates something is seriously wrong in my diet. I am still exercising and lost another 4 kgs (9 lbs) in the last month
Here are some of the things I that are my sources of fat and maybe cholesterol
1. Peanut butter (2 table spoons a day)
2. Mayonnaise (2 table spoons a day)
3. Almonds (10)
4. Cottage cheese (maybe about 100 gms a day) not everyday but maybe 4-5 days a week
5. Regular processed Cheese (about 50 gms)
6. 1-2 egg cheese Omelette
7. Chicken / Meat
What the hell do I do ??
I am going mad. I cant eat carbs because of BG. I cant eat fat because of cholesterol. I cant eat too much protein either.
Something is seriously wrong...
