Told the girlfriend I've got a lovely place down south booked for her uni holidays coming up.

 

We're camping. Haven't told her this part yet. On a cousins property so we have access to toilet/shower etc.

 

I do have all the creature comforts for camping but shes never been so this is going to be fun.

I should probably check my cholesterol, now that you mention it... No symptoms of well... anything... except perhaps pushing myself a little to hard every now and then at the gym :spoton:

 

I'd still smash ya, puffster :showoff: (not with weights, of course )

Being skinny means 0 for cholesterol a lot of the time and also heart and blood pressure levels... fact.

U can be completely skinny and torally unhealthy.

Dieting with supliments and hard core gyming does not work when th3se things are concerned... the omly way to fix them is a balanced healthy diet and excercise... unless youve been advised that obesity is the reason for the high levels .

your levels will return to normal faster then hard core hitting the gym and eating a massively ristricting calorie diet that has little nutrients...

...

Tell ya what... I never had bp issues ever... last week I over did it with the reno and my bp went up to 118/91... fhhhukn felt like utter sh*t... immediately knew something was wrong... called the midwife...drank amass amount of water and rested and all seems ok now... but jeeze I xant imagine what its like having high bp all the time

I'm a t2 diabetic. I found out in July. My cholesterol was a bit out. Hdl was low and ldl was high and trigs were up also. 

They whacked me straight on statins (crestor) to sort my cholesterol out and threw gliclizide and metformin at me to get my bgl back to normal. 

Last week I was having hypos so I had to cut out the gliclizide which drops your sugars. 

Went back on Monday and requested a follow up blood test to check what's going on. 

Got the results yesterday and I'm a bees pen*s away from beating t2. Cholesterol is almost even again except trigs. 

Anyway my point is I used diet to fix this with the aid of the meds but mostly diet is the reason it turned around so fast. Most ppl get diagnosed take the meds and carry on eating sh*t. 

 

If if you want to get your cholesterol sorted asap have a read of the 8 week blood sugar diet by Michael Mosely. 

I've not started it because of the hypos with the meds but when they settle down I'll rip into. 

 

If if you eat butter swap it for olive oil butter. Sack canola oil for olive oil. Cut out carbs. Especially sugar and refined carbs like cereals and bread. If you need bread a good soy and linseed bread like burgen is good. 

And drop another 1000 cal from that 1780 out of your diet while still weight training and the weight will drop off you. 

 

You've got the right idea. Catch it now and it's easier to fix. 

Lol I will be starving already to eat only 1780 a day. At that level I will lose 1kg per week which is ample for me. In just 8 weeks I'll be close to 95 kg which is probably where I'll stay.

 

I think where I went wrong was buying a side of beef back in January and finishing it recently. Also I bought chickens so I was eating a lot of eggs.

 

You are ight about diet fixing the problem though. Medication just hides the symptoms of eating sh*tty.

I can feel when my bp is up cos it gives me a headache and I can feel the pressure in my head.

 

You're right about being skinny and unhealthy too. I don't look "fat" but clearly eating too many farm animals has taken it's toll.
