Results after seven years of keto.

[MattT84]

Im sure this had been beaten to death, but has Eileen ever posted some pics before and after??

Im sure it would inspire a lot of first timers into the Keto diet especially women.

[Korry1]

Totally depends on time of year and kids and a load of other things. Right now, I'm going to the gym 3 times a week, doing full body workouts. I cycle for transport and cardio. Everything else varies.

Thanks for sharing...

*reps*

Do you ever do high intensity cardio or just low intensity cardio?

Thanks

Thanks

When I'm running late for school pick up, my cardio can be extremely high intensity. Try making up 10 minutes on a 10 mile spin and you'll be sweating buckets by the time you arrive. Not to mention breaking a few red lights on the way!

I am NEVER posting before pix. I reckon that now I look like a fit school mom who is in decent shape. My pre-keto pix make me cringe.

[DecemberDays86]

great medical results!

After pics may just give us unfulfilled hopes of you being a cougar

shut down those keto haters

[BeejGrpA]

good to hear eileen

[asto_86]

It was HDL 2.2, LDL 2.1. Pretty much was I was expecting. Very low triglycerides.

Nope, if it's tasty and keto, I'll eat it.

for the 'average healthy adult'.. we are supposed to keep hdl's above 40 and ldl's under 100..

wth is 2.2 and 2.1?

i mean i believe that your hdl's are higher than ldl's which is awesome.. but what scale were they going by??

She lives in Ireland.

-edit-

I believe it is mmol/l (millimole per litre?)

[buddha_belly]

Just got my results back from a complete physical I did last week. So after seven and a half years of keto, the effects on my my ravaged body is: I've got flat feet.

Everything else is so normal it's boring. Heart, normal. Bones, normal. Liver and kidney, normal. Thyroid, normal. Bowels, normal. Breast and cervix, normal. Eyes and hearing, normal. Lungs, pulse, blood pressure, all normal. Blood glucose levels, normal.

Everything normal EXCEPT "Could you come back for another blood test? We seem to have made a mistake with your cholesterol levels." My HDL levels are higher than my LDL levels, and they say they've never seen that before.

Congratulations on your great results and good health! If you would not mind could you possibly post a sample diet for us 'Keto Novices'. I've just started and would like to move away from some of the processed foods I'm currently intaking. Congratulations again!

[MuscleHustleSS]

True, if you sweat enough, you don't piss so much.

Had to sig that.

The reference range (normal) for HDL was 1.0-2.0 and for LDL was under 3. So my LDL was bog standard normal, and my HDL was off the scale.

It varies a lot, but it usually involves eggs for breakfast, fish for lunch and steak or chicken for dinner. Lots of green veg, and cheese or nuts etc for snacks.

bump.. this should be stickied!!

[gleko]

well....thats awesome news

shut down those keto haters

Not a chance, her results are just an anomaly Which is what I am told every time I get checked and mention diet.
One Doc told me I am one of the lucky few AHhahaha Even after I told him that I had previously tested with early stages of fatty liver.

Actually for women Cholesterol is almost non existent as a risk factor for heat disease. having two televisions probably rates higher on the risk factor list for women.

Negs for life for calling our queen a "Bro"..... Ya'rly

+2 FTL!!!!

Totally agree (we've recently got a second tv, and the girls are driving me mad watching and copying all the really annoying kids on Disney channel), but it is handy to shut up the experts who keep telling me I'm a walking heart attack.

LOL at the disney channel

I KNEW you already knew that about the women and cholesterol danger (well at least I thought I knew anyway).
Though you really want to rethink the 2nd tele. Ahahhaa

Just as an aside, where in Ireland are do you live? I travelled there just before I got married 15 years ago. My wife was studying English there, and living in Cladder.

[Eileen]

I'd love to get rid of the second tv, but there'd be war. As it is, no tv is allowed on during meals or homework time, and that is hard enough to enforce.

Yep, knew about the women and cholesterol thing. Actually, as you get older, your cholesterol should increase. Low cholesterol in old people is a bad sign. Wonder why they keep pushing Statins to old people???

If you flew to Dublin, you passed within a couple of miles of me. I live just north of Dublin airport. If I'm flying somewhere, I cycle to the airport, then spend longer trying to find somewhere to lock the bike than I did cycling there.

Silly isn't it, the old statin thingy?

I loved Ireland, my wife wants to go back when the kids are older. It has some of the most spectacular scenery of any country I have been to. Especially when it is windy and rainy on the coast.
I hear you on the tele thing, my kids automatically turn the tele off for dinner these days

[Eileen]

If I ever meet Raven or Cory, or Zack and Cody or London, I'm going to commit pestacide.

[Wtf?]

I have to ask - Why keto for 7 years?

[Crazybear]

Nice results. My dad is one of the few people I know that thinks my keto diet is healthy. He's going to try his own diet soon called the "Ancestors Diet" that he is making. He's going to get some of his friends on it too.

OT: Don't you miss the good ol' days of disney with actual cartoons and such instead of nothing but kids living in hotels, psychics, pop singers, etc.? When I was younger i'd watch chip and dale rescue rangers, Ducktales, Tailspin, MickeyMouse, and such.

[Eileen]

Because I could lose weight and maintain on it without starving, and because I feel so much better on keto. No heartburn, indigestion, gallstones, hay fever, afternoon naps, dental plaque, lots of little things like that. And I really really like the food. If I never eat another rice cake in my life, I'll be happy.

The one thing that saves my sanity is that their absolute favourite is Dr Who, which I also love, followed by Sarah-Jane Adventures. Plus, The Doctor is the uber-geek, so they hve a great role model if they ever get a hard time at school.

[Crazybear]

Dr. Who is an amazing show. I watch it all the time on the sci-fi channel.

LMAO thankfully my kids hate Zack and Cody
