I make sure to get a full blood workup done annually, I was reviewing the results of some of my labs since 2016. Since that time, I have lost 140 pounds and stopped eating meat except for fish and shellfish, stopped drinking alcohol, and I put a real effort into eating well.
You wouldn't know it from the data - my total cholesterol is flat at about 210 - thereby debunking any connection between dietary and serum cholesterol, at least for me.
What's the high (HDL), low (LDL) and very low (VLDL) numbers, did they change? Did the HDL to Total ratio change? Just curious.
HDL 45, LDL 157, VLDL 14, triglycerides 76. Ratio of HDL to total is largely unchanged, the only outlier was HDL about 83 two days before I quit drinking. My labs were a mess that time.
