Current diet is ketoish one (for 3 weeks), 45% non sat fat, 45% protein, 10% carbs, 35% calorie restricted, IF 16/8. Confirmed on ketosis with BHBs ranging 1-3.5. Previous 2 month diet was anything goes diet because of christmas. Exercise 3 days/week with 60mins of HIIT and some resistance training.
My numbers:
Code: Select all
LDL-P 1063
LCL-C 99
HDL-C 53
Trigs 90
TC 170
HDL-P 31.6
LDL-P 305
LDL Size 21.1
LP-IR Score 26 <=== What's this? Says here insulin resistance score
My comments and thoughts:
* I've had ridiculous triglyceride levels for years. Usually 300+, normally 500, even on good diets. No doubt 4/4 at play there. With experimentation I realized there was a particular weight that would make my trigs go down, about 29 BMI or so.. My trigs don't seem too dependent on diet.
* My LDL-C has always been in the 80-100 range, even with abysmal trig numbers.
* I'm on the train that LDL-C is an opaque marker and LDL-P is a much better indicator for artherosclerosis
* I highly suspect CVD/Inflammatory state/Metabolic syndrome/High blood pressure are causative agents or at least completely correlated with AD. Doing changes that bring the prior down, should bring the chances of AD down too.
* I don't see a place for elevated LDL markers (either LDL-C or LDL-P) regardless of the rest (HDL,Trigs..). Seems pretty clear LDL particle number is a first and necessary step for atherosclerosis. Check out this amazing overview for the current understanding (2019) of artherosclerosis (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK343489/)
* Current action items for me are getting under 25 BMI and take a more comprehensive look again at lipids and other biomarkers.
