She was running around the house all excited yesterday because she fit in a size 8 pair of jeans. I'm down in a large size shirt and am past due on buying new pants. I think I'm going to go to my boss and ask for smaller shirts. that's a great feeling!
    I’m at the point that I am doing 1-2 day carb cycling to maintain. I went back to the gym and (of course) proceeded to drop a few more lbs and went below my maintenance weight threshold. I’m wearing pants and shorts I haven’t worn in years. I have several pairs of jeans I can’t wear because they’re too loose and fit stupid with a belt cinched around them to hold them up. Keep trucking Holmes! Great work! We’re in it with you!

        DNP? I wouldn’t touch the shit. It can cause retinal separation as well.

          Sounds like something a fool might try.

            Meth works better and gets you high.

              As of now BP, triglycerides and hdl are all normal. LDL is high as of now. Going to continue keto and do a MCT oil daily dose and retest in 3 months. If that doesn't work then I'll start the atorvastatin pill popping bullshit.
              The hardest thing convincing my doctor regarding cholesterol numbers was to drop taking Lipitor/Atorvastatin. I was able to show it was no long needed by dropping from 40 mg (the maximum) to 20 mg, then to 10 mg (the minimum) and finally to 10 mg every other day. Granted that if you do need to take it after all due to the genetic factor, it does do an effective job at lowering LDL levels.

                with low carb diets, one cholesterol reading will be normal and other high. I have been doing low carb off and on for the past 7 or 8 years, I lose 20 lbs, get off, gain it back, back on, etc

                  btw, get yourself an immersion cooker, its the best investment you can make with low carb.

                    Finally, finally back in ketosis. Had been out virtually since mid may. Did a 24hr fast after a week of low carb no sugar. At a huge base with TONS of food choices. So Keto is much earlier to stick to. Already dropping weight again and cleaning up.

                      I've heard now that LDL levels aren't as important as triglycerides. I don't know what to believe at this point. Goal is to just have everything at acceptable levels.

                        I think that you are correct, in that high LDL levels in and of themselves are not necessarily bad and that it also depends on the type and size of the LDL particles. My own experience was that LDL levels initially rose during the first six months of ketosis and then subsequently dropped afterward, while triglyceride levels dropped within that first six months and stayed that way. HDL levels rose during that time and have remained steady ever since.

                          Lots of people have, but its pretty risky. You can't get hot or you die. Also you gotta get the dosage right or you die. But the risk/reward is balanced. You'll lose most of the fat you want to in very short order.

                            F that! I will just stick with slowly shrinking safely.

                              I preferred to invest my time to do it right (for me) and make it a lifestyle change. Adding in another "dosage" of anything would have been the opposite of one of the things I was trying to accomplish, which was to eliminate the need for as many Rx meds as possible.

                                My wife and I have been doing keto this week and my daily carb intake has been at most 15 total. All I drank was water. Are a fried egg in the morning, salad at lunch, and steak and broccoli for dinner. Was going great until last night I drove 4 hours to look at a boat and skipped lunch I pulled into a Walmart to pick up more lures while I was out that way and when I came out I couldn't find my truck for 45 minutes. I never do that I always know right where I parked and I was dizzy and had a terrible headache. I made a stop by burger king and ate a burger and it totally wrecked my keto groove.
