Will,
Fantastic!
I saw this on your web page and thought... Damn, if he can get those results, so should I. Now I realize everyone is different and really cannot expect to compare, but my last results were 150 total with 99 HDL. So I took a hard look at what I was doing. I had been making a conscious effort to eat more as I was around 140 lbs and I guess overreacting to others opinions that I was too thin. Well, by adding smoothies in the afternoon, I got my weight up to 142. But when those results came in (prior had been 137:total), I was not happy. I reviewed McDougall program again and saw again his recommendation not to over consume fruits as they can raise cholesterol in some people. With the smoothies, I was probably up to 5-6 servings of fruit a day.
So I cut back to 2-3 fruit servings a day and quit trying to stuff myself. Today just got results of 109 total, 68 Hdl...happy day. BTW, now weigh 138 lbs and feel great. Also today, got carotid ultrasound results... compared to 2 years ago, less thickness with only a few visible plaques. I have been WFPB a bit over 1 year.
Keep up your good work Will and keep posting potato strong!
Best regards,
Ernie
