I was anxiously awaiting my doctor's appointment, to discuss the test results from my blood work. Everything was in the normal range, even protein was in the normal range. Protein was 6.7 (range 6.0 - 8.2)
I will include my test results from 2011, 2012 and today. My cholesterol has never been dangerously high, only elevated. But since there is a family history of high cholesterol, I keep an eye on it.
Numbers are from 2011, 2012 and today.
cholesterol - 245, 221, 168 (range 135-240)
triglyceride - 69,42,88 (range 10-190)
HDL choles. - 61,64,41 (range 32-96)
LDL choles. - 173,150,113 (range 0-130)
In 2012 I had been trying to eat healthier, but was calorie counting. I still had meat, eggs, dairy and oil in my diet. I was able to bring cholesterol down to a certain degree, but nothing compared to the results of a plant based diet.
