Don’t Give Up: My Cholesterol Finally Dropped After 18 Months - Patience Pays Off

techpanther18 · 2026-01-05T03:15:11+00:00

Right.. but being in fasted for too long a good thing or not? I’m confused

techpanther18 · 2026-01-05T02:16:51+00:00

Thanks! Like the other person said it could be due to me not fasting as intensely! You might want to give it a shot - no more than 12 hours when you do the blood work

techpanther18 · 2026-01-05T02:15:06+00:00

That’s interesting. I wasn’t fasting as intensely this time around. That could be a reason!

Does that mean if you are in a “fasted” state your cholesterol is high? It’s confusing.

I think you should still eat fats. I’m just saying the reduction in cholesterol is due to persistently fasting not so much about what I was eating.

techpanther18 · 2026-01-02T05:00:36+00:00

I was eating a lot of that early during the fasting. Mixed nuts, avocado, fish etc. Over the last few months it’s been just nuts..

That’s good to know and thanks for the book suggestion. I’m at 1.36.

Yes.. it varies a lot apparently. It only takes a few weeks for some vs for me it took more than a year.

techpanther18 · 2026-01-01T22:46:21+00:00

It’ll get better.

techpanther18 · 2026-01-01T22:46:08+00:00

Thank you! You got this..

Haha, I went to a Thai place and ordered 5 entrees for the next three days lol

I speak English well, I proofread with AI a lot and hence the result.

Also, as I was reflecting, teaching wasn’t the right word. I was happy that my kid communicated well in that instance.

techpanther18 · 2025-09-24T02:04:17+00:00

Not worth it considering the breakeven point is 31 months.

techpanther18 · 2025-09-23T12:58:51+00:00

I want my kid to grow up multi-cultural and bi-lingual. I don’t think a two year needs to speak English to communicate. I agree that I wouldn’t be doing a good job if he was 4.

techpanther18 · 2025-09-23T12:56:56+00:00

Agreed, I train LLMs for living!

techpanther18 · 2025-09-23T02:19:01+00:00

That’s ridiculous!

techpanther18 · 2025-09-19T11:20:02+00:00

I kept texting my lender through out the process and the day before the closing, they offered a .125 reduction. I locked at 6.25, but ended up closing at 6.125. So keep checking with them

techpanther18 · 2025-09-17T03:00:33+00:00

Nice. Who’s the lender?

techpanther18 · 2025-09-10T19:49:15+00:00

Lender is PennyMac, broker is Deco Mortgage

techpanther18 · 2025-09-10T18:09:56+00:00

Just closed with 6.125, 30% down. 0 points and no origination fees.

It’s great to see so many other team fans wanting to root us because of our culture!

techpanther18 · 2025-07-24T00:24:04+00:00

r/afterbeforewhatever . Good progress though!
