latest blood work

[Scott F.]

I have been on a stretch as of late where my annual physical at work, my HAZMAT physical and my infusions leave me with bloodwork about every three months or so. It has given me some numbers to trend for health wise but are more interesting to me since Carnivore. I have the before carnivore numbers and then afterwards as well.

            August              January

Total        219                  219

Tri             75                   76

HDL           37                  35

LDL           187                  152

Nothing has really changed in the last three months. If I did the math on beef to other meats, I am probably a tad more beef than before. The egg count is up, and the total amount of intake is up. I sort of naturally fell into OMAD and then when the weight lost got into the 70's and 80's I eased into a big egg breakfast. Mostly for two reasons, I do feel better, but I am 'weaker' at the lesser weight and two, the lifting is getting a little more intense per session/pushing a little more. 

I think it was a really significant shift in the LDL. This upcoming week will be 8 months. I'm on a semi-stall the last couple of weeks around 82-85lbs lost as it bounces daily (I'm one of the not so smart people that tip the scales most every day). Still no pills for pain nor inflammation from the NMO/SD stuff. 

My first real cheat was by accident, but I was dumb enough to finish the bottle of Nestle Kwik. I used a lot of toilet paper of the next few days. I think my stomach/my body explained to my brain that I had made a bad decision, sort of like, " I can show you better than I can tell you" or the age old, "if you are gonna be dumb, you better learn to be tough". Either way, lesson learned.

My wife makes an incredible red sauce when we cook ribs/pork and it is great on chicken as well. I tasted it the other night and maybe since it has been awhile, or maybe the body was reminding the brain about the sugar, it was OK, not all that appealing like it has been for 25+ years. 

Kinda sorta where I am at after 8 months. I think for the next little while it will be the constant adjustments of amounts throughout the day. Satiety wise I am good at OMAD but the weight is falling with that and at times I look a bit sickly. I need to eat more if I am off-setting the muscle loss with the auto-immune disease and the increases in lifting. I think I might be "one meal and a half per day" OMAHAD. (if copyright and royalties are applied I will forward my address)

Appreciate the group. Appreciate the information exchange.

The good ol' dairy and sugar combo. A punch in the gut for most people.

'the gut all the way out. Lost of psi and the potential for distance records as well.

I have found that about that same timeframe I lost all taste for anything sweet. Carbs no longer appealed to me. 
Congratulation's.
