Day 31: Drum roll please

Finally, the official cholesterol results are in!

Test = Old -> New

LDL or 'bad cholesterol" = 189 -> 113 (loss of 76)
Total Cholesterol = 271 -> 179 (loss of 92 - so close to 100!)
HDL = 47 -> 33 (not that great to go down in the 'good' cholesterol, need to work on this)
Triglycerides = 174 -> 166 (loss of 8)
Glucose, Serum = 95 -> 84 (loss of 11)
Pulse = 83 -> 63 (loss of 20 beats per minute, if the heart works less, this sounds pretty good)
Blood Pressure = 139/79 -> 130/74
Weight = 227 -> 209 (loss of 18 pounds)

Some pretty amazing results in less than one month. Who knows what will happen if I keep this up for a whole year?

  1. Wow Matt, that is a great total cholesterol result and 18 pounds is crazy good for 28 days! Way to go, I'm proud of you for sticking with it so well. Keep up the good work, figure out what makes sense as far as being long term sustainable ;-). Alicia
