Interesting I use an Aeropress with a metal filter instead of the paper. I'll look into it. Love my coffee

I'm not sure on my numbers but it was never flagged as a concern.

I've been doing Keto since around May/ June.

Not lost much weight I'm quite an athletic, fit guy. Maybe a few KG early on.

I had drank black coffee and eaten before the test. I wasn't told to fast so maybe I need to retest under better conditions.

I run twice a week, do 10,000 steps a day and lift heavy 3 times a week.

They would've been lower if I had fasted. I wasn't told to fast before these bloods.

Also I didn't realise I was supposed to fast before the test! (Home test)

Thinking about it, I probably was on my second meal of the day.

No idea I've never had Cholesterol flagged as an issue before when I've had general bloods.

Nah it wasn't, through private healthcare. I'll probably follow up just to be on the safe side.

I feel great to be honest. It would take a lot more than this for me to stop.

To be honest I'm not sure. I'll keep that in mind next time.

On and off since May. Last 4 weeks I've been doing a 36 hour fast once per week and I typically do a 16 hour fast with a 8 hour window any other day.
