8th Month Blood Chemistry Result

Image
Last April 27, I got to had my blood tested again for my 8th month reading and the results IMHO was anticipated. During my 7th to 8th month into Keto. I played around by consuming some regular junk foods like chips, cracker nuts into my diet to see how much it will affect my triglycerides and fatty liver. I also take daily Psyllium Husk before going to bed to see if it will further lower my total cholesterol and LDL levels. Although I'm not that concern on my current total cholesterol and LDL level. My target level for.total cholesterol is between 200-250 is my goal. From the results above. My triglycerides increased from 98 to 121 and glucose also increased from 94 to 101. My HDL continue to increase from 79 to 85. LDL decreased from 190 to 160 while total cholesterol also decreased from 286 to 270. Although glucose level did increased during the last 2 months. My HB1AC remains the same at 5.7 meaning the increase in glucose might must be temporary only due to my recebt intake o

Delicious Chicken Wings !!!

Image
Got to visit Coffee Habit in Remegio Street as my car is being washed. They offer unlimited Chicken Wings for PHP295 and includes also unli ice tea and rice. Of course, I didn't eat the rice and ice tea but drink unli water instead. Mix flavors of Spicy Buffalo, Garlic Parmesan, Barbecue, Salted Egg, Susacha and Coffee are available but we opted to test Spicy Buffalo, Barbecue and Garlic Permasan only. The Spicy Buffalo is very spicy and not recommended for thise weak at spicy foods. I like the Garlic Parmesan and followed by Spicy Buffalo then Barbecue. I can say the price is worth it. Highly recommend it to our members. #ketodiet #ketolunch

Question On Sustainability of Keto Diet

Most of the time I received on bashers is that Keto will destroy my kidney and liver and should stop once I get my goal in less than a year. My simple answer to them is if it does, why is it after 4 months into Keto, my glucose of 118 goes down to 105 , SGPT which has fatty liver of 89 before I started drops down to 22 while creatinine is still peg at around 0.8 . Even Triglyceride level which started at inflammed 300 now peg at 112 despite on a high fat low carb diet. Their answer? I don't know, that's what my doctor advise or tell me or thats what he or she read in the internet :) In the end, I agree it's only you yourself can answer that question. For me despite I still have high cholesterol and LDL levels, it's a matter of tweaking or adjusting a little more what I eat can correct the problem in the months to come. I intend to keep Keto Diet as my life long diet lifestyle as it really works . Period . :) LOL
