3-months on atkins

Just had my cholesterol checked:

Cholesterol = 4.38
HDL = 1.07
LDL = 2.89
TriGlycerides = 0.90

The average for the western population is 5.5, with a higher HDL:LDL ratio.

Blood pressure is IIRC 180/82 although don't quote me.

Don't stand near me. You are going to burst.
Those units are mm of mercury so it's about 2.5psi.

Roger.

 

I'll try and burst quietly and promise to clean up the mess ;->

I can't remember the actual blood pressure numbers although they were
apparently fine and the nurse wasn't using a mercury device it was a
calibrated dial type pressure guage. Anyhow that wasn't the point of
the post.

 

Presumably has hard-ons like the handle of a trolley jack...

Well, it's obviously killing you too....

Out of curiosity how much have you lost, and how much to target?

SWMBO has decided that I'm going to get checked out next week whilst at
the arthritis clinic (it's all go here, I tell you).

She claims that a diet of bacon, eggs, red wine and clotted cream is bad
for me, but as I keep pointing out, Dr A. knew better.

 

The daft bugger's gonna explode.

Pah!
Cholesterol = 2.9
HDL = 0.8
LDL = 1.8
TriGlycerides = 0.5

Lowest Cholesterol Bupa in Reading had ever seen. They had
heard of someone with lower in a London clinic though.

Christ, I'm bored/boring.

 

WTF do you eat?

 

Gingerbread?

 

You better make sure mate. SWMBO (nursey) says with that BP you are
going to explode.

I didn't crash, there was a sudden burst of gravity.

You have my sympathies. I too get to sit in a dingy hospital corridor
with assorted crumblies at the arthritis clinic[1]

Sounds fine to me.. last time my cholesterol level was measured
is was less than 2.2...

you're trying to repopularise Lamarckianism?

 

So far a stone, which I am happy with, the most notable difference was
in the trouser department i.e. narrower waist and larger libido (prolly
due to the hormones in the beef)

 

I hope you die too :->

 

That is "very" low, are you active at all?

 

Would make an interesting headline at least if not an amusing picture.

 

I didn't I just had the urge to share.

Last time I went he said that if I was a good boy I could stop taking
one of his vile chemicals. I ain't been good.
