Hey Melisbsmile,

Below are my VAP results taken on 12/31 2009. I too was very concerned. I've lost 32 pounds and feel great on the LC-hifat way of life. Trying to improve my HDL and tryglicerides of course. Feeling a bit better after doing some research on the whole cholesteral/ldl hype. Doc didn't have much to say other than change diet and start meds (which I'm not doing). Been to Jimmy Moore's website and exchanged some info. His numbers too were rather high (TC and LDL). Everything I'm reading is making me feel better...trygliceride/hdl ratio, cholesteral myth and even some info about higher cholesteral levels being better as you get older. Oh well, sticking to this and still learing as I go. Good luck

Nancy gave me some info on vitamin D3 level which I am going to investigate also. Good info on thyroid in your posts also. Maybe I have a 'thyroid' issue going on also. I also am looking into reasons why my TC and LDL are so high. However, I have noticed thru the past 3/4 years, the stricter I got on LC-hiFAT the higher my LDL and TC went up, my HDL went higher and my triglyceriders dropped (along with my weight.. ). The past year I have been very strict. Very interesting.

TC=417
LDL=333
HDL=60
Tri=86
LDL pattern type = Pattern A (about the middle of Pattern A) (Great!)
