Over 250...mebbe start looking at stuff.<br /><br />When I was obese, not exercising much, depressed, eating crap, my total cholesterol was around 208 to 218, varying. After losing 120 pounds, exercising regularly, destressing, eating mostly REAL food, cutting back on starches, my HDL soared, Trigs dropped, but LDL soared, too, and the total cholesterol is MORE than 250 and LDL is 190. It does concern me, some, but I will wait to see what the VAP breakdown is to target things more carefully. Hubby, adapting my type of diet (he gets way more carbs than me, as he needs to keep weight up), still has a great cholesterol profile and lip(a) is 7, with a Pattern A. But his trend is RISING LDL...which I think happens when you eat more meat/animal protein and fewer carbs, as we have done.<br /><br />We shall see. :DPrincess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-31145923497163857472012-02-28T23:50:56.955-06:002012-02-28T23:50:56.955-06:00I'm having a VAP done end of March/Early April...I'm having a VAP done end of March/Early April for my next endo appt. Man, it took me nearly a year to convince them to do it. Docs! My HDL and Trigs tend to be great. My LDL, not so much. I actually have added starch and oat bran to my diet (the oat bran for the LDL, and I just added it in the last 3 weeks). I don't know how adverse an effect the starch will have, so I guess I'll be finding out!!!!<br /><br />I wish we didn't even have to think about this crap, frankly. The older we get, the more tests.
