as you can see my numbers have gone up . I was very disappointed when I got my results back . I got such a shock that I repeated them fasting to see if it would make a diference .It did but only a tiny difference.

I must say that I have been eating alot of saturated fats , up to about 3 weeks ago I was eating at least 10 eggs per week
( maybe more) on top of meat/cheese/cream .

It is scary , but from what I have just been reading , cholesterol alone is not risk factor .However in my case , although I do not have CHD , my father does .

It is weird ,

I am very pleased with my weight loss and my Blood Pressure has come down from 140/95 to 110/77. I feel great ,although I must admit that I have not been too good with exercise .

Dont know what to make of it all .

Should I eat less saturated fats ?
