Hi everyone!

I'm on Dr. Mauro di Pasquale Anabolic Diet since January 1st.
I'm very satisfied with my nutrition and with my health.

But last saturday I did a routine blood test just to see how my health was and what I thought would be a relief turned out to make me very concerned.

My creatinine and urea are ok. They are 0,93 mg/dL and 48 mg/dL respectively.
I thought my urea would be higher so I was fine. But I got worried once I saw my total cholesterol, that reached 432 mg/dL.

That is too high.
My HDL is 69 mg/dL, LDL is 349 mg/dL, VLDL is 14 mg/dL and triglycerides are 68 mg/dL.

Do any of you know what am I doing wrong? I follow the Anabolic Diet strictly eating proteins and fats only during the week and carbs during the weekend. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong and I'm worried for my heath. I also have no intention of going back to my old nutrition habits, even though they never gave me any problem.

I appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Erick

Get your free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies checked.

If they come out of range try a natural thyroid like NatureThroid or Armour Thyroid.

High total cholesterol and high LDL lead me to believe your thyroid is out of whack. Check your cholesterol again in 5-6 months if you go on thyroid treatment.

Edit: Forgot to comment on this, but your triglyceride/HDL ratio is .98- suggesting you have very large, buoyant LDL, thus I wouldn't worry about heart disease.

Quite a few people here had really good luck having their thyroid treated turning around their LDL.
