| Re: Stress and blood lipids
Between 10/29/07 and 12/10/07, my triglycerides fell from 262 to 117.
In that time period, I lost approx 22lbs, maintained a 6 day per week exercise regimen and a 1600-1800 calorie per day diet. The diet was signficantly changed to reduce / eliminate refined carbs and generally, paying attention to the GI contents of food.
My fasting glucose went from 107 to 93. While glad it dropped, I would have hoped for a bigger result in that regard.
I should state that even now, I am about 50 pounds over my ideal weight and that in addition to BP medication, I take 40mg of Pravachol per day. My TC and LDL have declined very significantly but except for LDL, everything has been principally influenced by diet and exercise.
I was hoping the pill could do it alone!
