6 months on a plant based diet and my blood results are in!

Well, I just got my blood results from BioIQ, a home test kit that I mailed in as part of an employer sponsored wellness incentive activity.

My HDL number is 48
My LDL is 66
My Triglicerides are 130
and my total cholesterol is 140.
The diabetes part of the test came back as normal, or not at risk.

I think this is pretty good.  Dr. Esselstyn demonstrates in his book, based on his research that HDL (good cholesterol) numbers can be low as long as your total cholesterol is below 150.  So although BioIQ stated a warning about the low number, I am really happy.

Ya-hoo!
