how bout sardines in a can? I hear they're safer

What was the value? Did you get a lipid panel prior to carnivore 4+ months ago for comparison? Were you fasted for 12-14 hours, no more, no less, when the blood was drawn? You've lost 40 lbs (18kg) in the last 4 months, so congratulations! Like I explained in the video, think of your stored fat as triglyceride in solid form. As you lose the weight on your body, the fat dissolves and enters your blood stream. Triglycerides are broken down and used for energy. For most people, they see their trigs drop like a rock, because they are being used for energy. For others, like myself, they build up in the blood. What we have to do is figure out why. In your case, I imagine it has to do with your diabetes. High triglycerides is common in people with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. As you A1C comes down, hopefully your trigs will too. But I don't recommend putting too much stock in a lipid panel while you are actively losing weight. It can be all over the place. I would wait 3-6 months after your weight loss has stopped and remained stable to get a lipid panel that would be more accurate. More blood tests would rule out issues with the liver or low thyroid, etc.

hi peeps so glad to find this site I have been absolutely stressing out having my bloods come back still high A1c 8 but my trigs were off the chart having had triple bypass a couple of years ago this was not what I or my Dr was happy about. this has stressed me to get answers ...but no one is addressing it which I find very strange from all the Drs online...I'm only 4 mths in and have lost 18 kg have checked ketones .3- 1.5 under 20 g of carbs ...i don't know what else to do...dreading the next blood test...Vin

I have not done a dry fast, just water fasts. I hit the gym this morning about 4AM and lifted pretty hard. I came home and did my walk which was just shy of 4 miles today. I managed to get 90 pushups along the walk and maybe ran a 1/4 mile of it. I came home and ate 5 eggs, with a 1/4 pound of sausage and maybe a 1/2 stick of butter. I'm going to get the meter later in the morning. I'm sort of excited about seeing some numbers. Scott

45% of the world population is iodine deficient. Iodine regulates metabolism regulates bone growth regulates brain function I think you're on the safe side to just supplement. Better than eating fish out of a can, because you'll be supplementing on cadmium, mercury, and lead as well. Fresh seafood or an iodine supplement is not going to hurt, at all. We've been taught to be afraid of iodine, on our way to get some donuts. Funny actually.
