Blood Test Numbers
I read Dr Atkins' book and did the blood test before I started my diet in June; and I got a second test done after starting Atkins in August. There was some noticeable difference so I thought I will share this with you. Please keep in mind I have no clue what some of this numbers meant. I just look for my liver enzymes and Chloresterol.
Original Test Date: May 30, 2001 AST - 66 Gamma GT - 142 Cholesterol - 7.37 Triglyceride - 3.82 VLDL Cholesterol - 1.76 HDL Cholesterol - 1.36 Ratio T Chol:HDL - 5.42 LDL Cholesterol - 4.27 Second Test Date: August 22, 2001 AST - 21 (*) Gamma GT - 67 (*) Cholesterol - 6.89 Triglyceride - 2.73 VLDL Cholesterol - 1.26 HDL Cholesterol - 1.56 Ratio T Chol:HDL - 4.42 LDL Cholesterol - 4.09 (*) much improved! :D For those medically minded, you comments on the above is greatly appreciated. |
Well, I can tell you that the things that should have gone down (LDL, triglycerides and cholesterol) did and the HDL improved and to quote Martha "That's a good thing"
I'll let the experts dissect more ;) WTG Sarlye :thup: Nat |
