Cholesterol

5.2 two months ago. Don't know what split is.
6 Years ago I was having kidney problems and it climbed to 11.6 over a period of about 18 months before anyone did anything about it. Was put on statins which dropped it to normal (5.1) after a while. Not taken statins in over 4 years and its still 'normal' despite a crap diet including cheese, pies, sausages, (grilled/oven) bacon, (grilled), poached eggs and who knows how many cakes/biscuits and sweets each day. My weight has remained steadfast at 11st to 11st 3lb in all this time.
Peaps, can I ask why you are taking steroids or is that personal?
 
Can I ask who gives a ....?

Oh I often give a s**t.
Without one I'd probably weigh as much as you. :wink:
:lol: :lol:

I'm serious.

I don't intend to cause offence and/or be nasty, I ain't one for being nasty here, quite the opposite, but apart from himself, who honestly gives a monkeys what peaps cholesterol rate is?

Is this what GD has become, a form of self indulgent sounding board for people to post tripe such as their cholesterol score?

He/She couldn't be described as a friendly individual and yet he/she starts a thread titled 'Cholesterol' with an opening: 'Mine is 6.4', and it receives two pages of replies! I'm obviously missing the joke here.

Coljack has had a running thread regarding his weight loss ( Here ), and I can see the point in that thread and have posted into that thread to wish him well in his effort but at least he has a purpose for the thread and put some effort into his opening post in the thread.

I'm allergic to my house :?
Someone's gonna have to explain this joke to me.
 
I think this thread started because Peaps possibly thought that his moderate cholestorol level would vindicate his vegan lifestyle.
He possibly thought all us meat eaters would answer back with oh mine is 7.9 and I am going to have a heart attack.
Ironically though his level is borderline high and some meat eaters have come back with lower scores.
However he is on a drug known to increase LDL levels.

Otherwise you would be right. What would indeed be the point of this random thread.
Before long we will get 'facebook' threads where someone posts their status..
'Just going to make a cup of tea' etc etc

This is just a guess of course I may be wrong.
 
Thank you yaleguy3.

Quite why his dietary habits have been discussed is yet another mystery! I'll pass on the explanation, as with his cholesterol score, I couldn't care less.
 
Just had a nice cup of rosey and a bacon sarnie! :lol:
Sorry yale!
lol no worries I had a large bacon sarnie yesterday.

In fact what did I eat yesterday>
B fast - bowl shreddies and milk - bacon sarnie
lunch - tuna nicoise salad - mocha coffee
supper - cheese and tomato toastie
snacks - bag of chocolate buttons - can ginger beer - packet salt n vinegar crisps- wispa bar

so lets see

Good things

Shreddies
Tuna
lettuce
green beans
tomatoes
cucumber
olives
brown bread (in toastie)
red onions
semi skimmed milk
shreddies

Bad things

Bacon?
wispa bar
can ginger beer
packet salt and vinegar crisps
white bread (in bacon sarnie)
cheese
mocha
small bag choccy buttons

What I have noticed is my lack of fluid intake yesterday only one can of ginger beer and one mocha coffee all day. Will need to drink some water today.

So Yesterday -
10 good things and 8 bad things = balanced diet :)
 
You do take fluids from the toms, cucumbers, milk, lettuce this is supposed to part of your supposed 2lt water intake! So you can sleep easy!
Do olives count towards your five a day?

Don't know - I guess they are veg but does their oil content make them bad?

If you used to work in the health industry you will know that diet doesn't control your cholesterol....
