I totally agree with you! Simple biology teaches us that ANY phenotype is always the result of genes PLUS environment so even if Kiril is predisposed unless he supplements his body with chemicals and nutrient-empty food these genes will never be activated and illness will never ever ever ensue. vegan yay.

Yes,but not too many.Now I am not on diet,because I am just 26 and my LDL is about 100+ and HDL about 70+ and tryglicerides 55.If I start having lipid problesm,I will have to close my mouth when seeing these products.)

Kiril,
You say that you do not eat much fat. But all those dairy products (cheese, kefir, cream) are high in saturated fats. They may be keeping your cholesterol high.

Well,I'm sorry,I guess I just didn't formulate what I wanted to say in appropriate way:it's not me,I just gave you an example of people with such date.I am just age 26,but who know,which health problem I have,if I live more 25-30 years.))
I am eating meat,cheese,kefir,spor cream.Vegetables-not too much,but as I know-more than average guy of my age.I can hardly remember when I ate a hamburger..
But I like apples,grapes.

(Spacebo za otveta, Kiril.)
Obviously, Kiril, you do not want to lose weight. You say that you do not eat much fat. Are you eating much meat and dairy products? Are you eating lots of beans, vegetables, and whole grains?
kiril1 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
So I guess you don't have a genetically determined high cholesterol,otherwise you won't have so good results.
And:your start point was bad-if you lost 25 kg,then you had much space for improvement.But what will you suggest to a guy on his 50's,with 130-140 pounds,not eating much fat and having LDL 170 and higher?
If you start from almost a normal level,you have no much space for improvement,sorry.

Well, Kiril1, a year and a half ago, I switched to a low-fat, whole-grain, vegan diet. Within 3 months, my LDL cholesterol dropped from 142 to 98. Then, 3 months later, it continued down to 68. My HDL increased slightly from 32 to 35. Also, my blood pressure plummeted down to a good, normal level. (Oh, and I lost 60 pounds, too.)
kiril1 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
No diet will help you,if you are about 45-50 and your HDL is 30 and LDL is 190.Even if you jump out of the window,you still will have high Cholesterol.
Diet help for 10-15%,no more.Keep dreaming.

Ohhhh I see, you havn't seen research results since 1972, that must be the problem. I would suggest reading new studies. Just so you know, high cholesterol "runs" in my family (italian heritage), yet because my cholesterol intake is ZERO, my cholesterol levels are optimal. It's that simple. Prevention! |
