Yep, it's caused by bacon. So don't eat any more bacon, send it to me for disposal.

The peanut butter pretzels kingston sent me probably aint helping my cause.


Hey!!!!!
WTF!!!!
Epiphany moment.


Kingston you evil fugga!!!!!


😄🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😄😄😄😄😄

That my smokey friend ain’t happening! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I’m not on statins

I refuse to do statins. I’m about as Alex Jones anti statin as yall are about that magnetic vaccine.

Yes, quite recently! My total numbers have always been pretty high, but when doing the ratio, I was almost out of range to the good side. Over the last 35 years, that ratio has slipped a bit....but, I’m still within the safe zone! Triglycerides are well within range for my age!


Bacon or sausage, potato (medium to large), grated cheese and 3 or 4 large eggs almost every morning!

“Knock on wood”.....no medications taken! memtb

What's bad cholesterol?

Me and Renegade knew some DULLARD that had Triglycerides up i to the 700s (seven hundred)

I laughed when I seen it

Renegade asked him if he ate gravy at every meal

unbelievable and YES I seen his labs. He got put into a remedial program by our Wellness counselor

low density lipid
LDL

Cmon mr vaccine genius

I had a blood workup today. These days, if mine doesn't clot up in the test tube they call it good.

You rang

I busted my physical before Thanksgiving over my LDL, it was like 194. They gave me a second chance a week later,, it was over 200. That cost me $14,000.00 dollars for a 40 day gig.

My total was around 300 right after the first of the year.

FYI, if anyone is thinking about going to a no/low carb diet, eating a super sized bag of beef Jerky and a bag of pork rinds every day isn't the way to do it.

Finally

That’s the spirit !!

🤩

What was the $14,000 40 day gig? Repatha? Just started on it.

I'm with you. My LDL cholesterol has always been high as far as I know but I refuse to take a statin drug. They made me extremely tired the few times I tried them many years ago and they can cause diabetes. I was 79 a few days ago and I'm the healthiest senior citizen I know of. I feel great and take no prescription medications. LDL is the best anti-inflammatory there is for arteries damaged by diet (mainly sugar) and stress. I get checked out by a Cardiologist every year and he agrees with me. I have never had any physical symptoms of cardiovascular disease (including ED).

Just had my labs done last week.

Cholesterol was 151 with an HDL of 39. These numbers are worthless by themselves to know your risk of heart problems. The below link does a much better job of calculating your risk.

I am 2.9%. Calculate yours.

Turns out I was right about the covid vaccines. They give you zero immunity to covid.

It's actually kind of Roger's fault

A couple of years ago, he was talking about going back to drilling.

I'm reading this thinking how can I consider myself a man of the world having never worked on a drilling rig. So I have to get a job on a drill rig so I can check that off my list.

I get a doctor in SLC and the nurse is checking my history. She ask how many sugary drinks I drink per day. I said somewhere between a half a case and a case of sodas a day.

My new doctor comes in and about [bleep] when he figures out I drink 12 to 24 sodas a day. Then he ask me about my diet

I tell him I eat one meal a day and and the rest of the time I eat rice crispy treats. Naturally he is intrigued by this diet and wants to know the thought process behind it.

So I explained that I was living in a man camp and eat a meal before we leave and can eat rice Krispy Treats straight from the package with drilling mud all over my hands.

He's the one that recommended the beef jerky as a healthier alternative. I don't think he had any idea that a $10.00 great value bulk bag from Walmart along with a bag of pork rinds was going to be the foundation for my low carb diet.
