I have been a long time yolk eater already but I have only recently started the habit of eating 50g of salmon 4 times a week.

I will have my next test in a few months I think. This was my first test. I am not changing my diet. I will continue to eat sufficient raw animal cholesterol. I also had elevated uric acid (from fructose in fruits??) and elevated monocytes. I know you don't get higher LDL levels from eating raw chol...

O wait, I get it... (just waking up here)... you are not saying I have those blockages, just high cholesterol. Thanks. I mean, I feel fine... but I was just wondering what people thought of this concept of 'genetically high cholesterol'. I read some stuff yesterday saying there is probably not even ...

'Bad health'... ehhh... as far as I know I'm doing fine, definitely way above average. That's what is so weird about it.

Ok, so how did I get these 'blockages in my veins'?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Diet history of the past year: My boyfriend has followed a raw diet (Wai plus some raw veggies, peeled almonds) for about 9 months. Before that, his diet was cook...

Good question, Seth... and what about the claim that the first two weeks on a low-cal diet you burn fat for extra fuel and not muscle? This supposedly only happens after 2 weeks or so, or was it 10 days...?

Wow, I just read this: "Using Your Ketostix On the third day of the program, begin to test your urine for Ketosis using the reagent strips or 'Ketostix'.

So today is the first day of me eating sweet fruits again, after 31 days on high fat, most of which I've been in ketosis. I wanted to start slow and add some apple slices here and there, only consuming medium glycemic fruits like apples, peaches, prunes and in small amounts. After every meal I've ma...

"Ketone bodies are the metabolic substances known as acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid. Acetone, which puts off the peculiar odor associated with ketosis, comes from acetoacetic acid. Ketones can be irritating to the kidneys and the kidneys expel ketones through the urine." From: http://...

I'm sorry, I think I haven't explained myself correctly. Over the past 30 days, my intake has been an average of 1785 calories a day (possibly a little more since I count 167 calories per 100 g avo instead of 177, like the nutrient calculator). My weight has been pretty stable, at first I lost some ...
