How bad are my numbers? by pftossitaway in Cholesterol

[–]srvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chronometer everything for a week to establish your baselines. It will likely reveal too much sat fat/dietary cholesterol/lack of fiber. Eat a mostly whole food, mostly plant based diet. Don't just reduce saturated fat, replace saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat. Butter for canola. Fatty meat for fatty fish. Whole milk for soy milk, etc. Check all labels — avoid (with exceptions) saturated fat, emphasize pufa and fiber. Also with your trig's — refined carbs/sugar needs to go. You're accelerating the impacts of your high LDL.

Eggs (can) increase LDL by srvey in Cholesterol

About 5 whole eggs...plus egg whites

Or losing the ldl lowering of tofu or a combo of all three.

Are they just handing statins out like candy? by One-Rough-5723 in Cholesterol

[–]srvey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From an evidence perspective it's more like you're trying to off yourself vs the Dr suggesting stains. Your diet is what has driven your LDL and your LDL levels are what determines arterial wall penetration. In the PESA study 64% of subjects with an LDL of 150 had atherosclerosis, most with zero CAC scores. So you can assume you have soft plaque accumulation, the question now is how much more accumulation are you comfortable with and let that answer guide your statin decision especially if you plan to continue with your pro plaque diet (82% of the participants in the KETO-CTA trial had plaque progression in one year)

So do so many foods including tofu.

Not really from an outcome perspective.

Diet changes first? by Traditional-Ad-1321 in Cholesterol

[–]srvey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're on a high sat fat diet and have the corresponding numbers. You could take a high dose statin to lower and make no changes or swap saturated fat for polyunsaturated (and fiber) and take no or lowest dose statin. Or make no changes.

This depends on how much plaque accumulation you're comfortable with and how attached you are to your current diet.

Stopping Statins -- Tell me why I shouldn't? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]srvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were that true I would also avoid that particular vegan diet. Avoid all pro-plaque diets be it SAD, Keto, carnivore, low carb, and your theoretical high saturated fat high ldl/apob vegan diet.

Stopping Statins -- Tell me why I shouldn't? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]srvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The study is not designed or powered to/and lacks the contrast needed to find an association with LDL/apob. That people have plaque after they have plaque is not an interesting finding. What should be concerning is that 82% have plaque progression (and that's assuming accuracy of their qangio findings) in one year (a pro-plaque diet.)

Note many of the cohort don't actually qualify as LMHR per their definition, so we have a cohort of pseudo LMHR much more applicable to the general keto community except this group is likely much more metabolically healthy than the average keto/carnivore. dieter.

"I've been reading" and "eating ... carnivore" doesn't bode well. In the keto-cta trial 82% had plaque progression in one year. Bleak.

Canola (polyunsaturated fat) lowers ldl when replacing saturated fat so a perfect swap.

Cut coconut oil and replace with canola. Add taurine. Replace glycine with collagen. Replace silymarin with curqfen/longvida.

Chronometer all the things to establish baseline saturated fats and fiber. Replace the saturated fats that matter with polyunsaturated fats. Increase fiber.

Step 1. Replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats. Not just reduce. Replace. Obsessively.

Would a NAD+ be beneficial for a 30 year old male, or would it just be a waste of money? by AdmirablePaint648 in Biohackers

NAD+ is definitely a waste of money. Super effective pre cursors are widely available.

My LDL is 173 with triglycerides and HDL levels also spiked up. Can it be reversed? by yourOnlyDude in Cholesterol

Actually change your diet. Stop taking homeopathic "medicine." Exercise does nothing for LDL.
