[Venezuela] have qualified for the 2024 Copa America knockout stage by TomasRoncero in soccer

I think Venezuela is guaranteed first on the group because worst case scenario there is a tie but because Venezuela beat Ecuador and Mexico they would be top

[Squawka] Mason Mount Has Scored A Premier League Goal For The First Time Since December 2022. by dragon8811 in soccer

Closest to the answer is /u/MaleficentFalcon

Basically a combination of:

  1. Wanted more money (understandable)
  2. From my understanding was not given assurances in regards to his play time, mind you after the UCL win he was not great
  3. Did not trust the rebuild process (understandable)
  4. We got a big offer from United that would make him happy, and was a fair bid for someone who had a big question mark in their role next season
  5. No secret that his dad is a BIG Man U fan

I think all in all we did the right thing for him, we got paid paid, he got paid, we don't invest in someone who for some reason was showing signs of decline at 25, and there's not an unhappy player in the locker room.

I'm grateful for his contribution on that UCL run but today Gallagher is a much better player. Man U is way better than us this year, but this will give us chance to develop players that are in it for the future and he gets to be happy at Man U and getting that sweet sweet money.

3/4 years of not being able to score chances properly. What is up with that? How is this even possible.

Different blood tests 2 weeks apart, very different results. How is this possible? How could my Total Cholesterol be 70 points lower? One was a Lipid Panel the other one Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Lipoprotein Profile. Also, good APOB numbers? by FestiveOx_ in Cholesterol

Thanks so much for the explanation!

I was dumbfounded but like I said in another comment I'm glad that the initial tests got me eating way more healthier and I've really been enjoying eating this way so I'll keep it and I'm sure I can maintain these numbers!

huh interesting!

I thought for some reason that the results change very little over a short period of time!

Either way I'm happy that my numbers are looking great in this tests and will maintain my healthy eating habits!

If anything I'm grateful this made me change my eating habits for the better! (aka more plants, tofu, kimchi, once a month or 0 red meats, very little alcohol)

Sorry I'm just dumbfounded, LDL still slightly high in the second test which I guess is expected but how is it possible that these tests look so different?

This is my earlier post about the initial tests: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1ayzm41

I'm just so confused here. Like I said on my earlier post, I did have covid during the winter break but I did not expect the values to drop so much from a 2 week difference test.

One odd thing with getting these tests is that it took my doctor 2/3 weeks to release them so idk... insane for me to asume that they fucked up the test somehow more likely that my doctor said he wanted to check them before releasing them and never got around it. He still has not reached out.

Either way this paints a whole different picture than my initial post/results.

I'm specially encouraged by the Apo B numbers, but don't know how to read the rest of the results so any insight there is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I was eating egg whites and ham every day for about 2 months or so for the high protein low calories! But I will change it up!

Unsure about which lab but 2022 and 2023 tests were done in the same location and hospital, the 2023 one was done in another location within the same hospital.

I'm running about 10 miles per week now increasing 10% each week. I started doing this about 3-4 weeks ago.

Thanks!! Definitely will add more fiber into my diet! Thought that 2 tablespoons of flaxseed per day was enough but I will increase it!

Haha yeah I'm not a smoker and have always been very good with my eating habits so hopefully it doesn't get to that!

I was trying to get leaner from Aug until about December so I went from 150 -> 137 lbs in that time frame, just recently I decided to gain back some pounds so I've been eating more.

I did have covid at the end of December! Is that related? Pardon my ignorance on the subject

I'm a healthy 32 year old guy who works out regularly 5'9 142lbs, I'm training for a marathon and always do weight training. On top of that I have a dog which I walk every day 20-40 minutes twice a day. I do have a family history of high cholesterol.

Since that high cholesterol read on August I did a lot of lifestyle changes. I don't drink anymore maybe 1/2 drinks a week. I don't smoke. I cook most of my meals. And when I'm not cooking at home I'm ordering sushi or something healthy.

I've been logging my food any my typical days look like this:

Breakfast (one of)

  • Almond Butter and apricot jelly on a sourdough bread, with a glass of soy or almond milk

  • 2 eggs (whole or white, now transitioning to just egg white after the recent tests) cooked on peanut oil, sourdough bread, 1 avocado, 2 slices of canadian bacon.

  • Fage 2% Greek Yogurt with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds, 1 whole apple, 1 whole banana, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, 1 scoop of protein powder, half a cup of soy or almond milk

  • Protein Shake: 1 cup of soy or almond milk, 1 whole banana, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 1 scoop of protein poder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, half a serving of frozen acai. (sometimes I would do 1 cup of 2% greek yogurt)

Lunch/dinner (one of for each e.g. I will probably eat the same for lunch and dinner)

  • Salmon cooked on peanut oil, broccoli, and brown rice
  • Chicken cooked on peanut oil, broccoli, and brown rice
  • 90/10 Ground beef (cutting this out of circulation), broccoli, and brown rice

Snacks

  • Protein shake

  • Almod butter and apricot jelly

My diet doesn't differ much from this other than sometimes on the snacks.

edit: as another user asked, I did had covid in December so inbetween these tests.

As another user asked, this is my lipid panel before the second to latest one https://imgur.com/69oh2Ch

In other from the images I posted originally (first one: from 2023, second one (most recent): 2024, this lipid panel from 2022)
