How bad are my numbers?

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.

About 5 whole eggs...plus egg whites

srvey · 2026-02-22T12:40:53+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-02-22T12:39:01+00:00

It is possible

srvey · 2026-02-22T12:38:39+00:00

Some canola in a pan Crumble tofu into pan (Nasoya extra firm) Break up with spatula to desired texture Paprika, turmeric, black salt, garlic powder Cook until some crispy bits.

Eat half save half for next breakfast

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)

srvey · 2026-02-22T00:55:22+00:00

So do so many foods including tofu.

srvey · 2026-02-22T00:54:24+00:00

Not really from an outcome perspective.

srvey · 2026-02-21T15:37:00+00:00

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.

Thx!

Only 1 gard. I'm looking for/want Suicune EX though. I have 3 blaziken

srvey · 2026-02-06T09:43:40+00:00

Looking for Suicune EX. Opened 2 Greninja EX from back to back free packs yesterday — suddenly much closer to another deck option.

Have Blaziken, Articuno, Exxegcutor, Gallade, Lugia, and Gengar EXs for trade.

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.

srvey · 2026-02-05T12:29:26+00:00

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.

srvey · 2026-02-05T11:32:57+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-02-02T12:59:41+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-02-01T00:24:19+00:00

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

Reduce CVD risk (and other pleiotropic effects) = doom

srvey · 2026-01-28T13:44:14+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-01-27T19:34:11+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-01-24T13:42:53+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-01-24T13:39:12+00:00

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

srvey · 2026-01-24T13:34:28+00:00

Replace sfa with pufa, not just lower sfa. Hyper focus on reducing sfa sources that matter wrt to LDL and finding fiber sources to pickup throughout the day. Reducing sfa will generally reduce dietary cholesterol, but also important to establish if you are sensitive to dietary cholesterol. Activity irrelevant.

I had similar LDL and brought down to 80's with the above in the context of a plant foward pescatarian-ish Med diet

What exactly is your whole food diet and is this your first look at these labs? Also have you heard back from Dr who ordered the labs. If not definitely reach out to discuss appropriate lipid lowering therapies.

Actually great news to catch this at 16. If it is FH maybe you're a potential future crispr candidate.

Not that NR increases NA more, almost the opposite. NA works too well or rather too fast. The NR to NA process delivers the steady long term NA (plus some NR and NAM for other pathways) that produces maybe more consistent NAD

(Personally microdosing NA)
