You CAN'T be a BAD Vegan and Get Results!

Well now I know that you can't just eat anything that is vegan and get the blood work you want. I got my results back and not a big improvement and in fact doubled one part. Over all cholesterol dropped from 180 to 170, LDL dropped from 125 to 103(good drop), HDL hovered around 35 each time, my triglycerides almost doubled from 98 to 164. Eeeek that last one threw me til I realized what I have been eating the last few months and realized that I have not in the least been watching my sugar intake or processed food intake and "white" carb intake so I shouldn't be surprised at that one. Now comes getting rid of all that other stuff at least a majority of the time and see what the next results in 3 months are. The doc took me off half of my zocor so I really have to watch what I eat now or my numbers will shoot through the roof. So Tuesday I am mostly cutting out the other stuff that is bad. The people who got the good numbers did not eat what I have been eating so I guess I can't have my cupcake and eat it too. So phase two begins in a few days....the hard hard part. The great part is the blood results did not make me want to go out and just eat meat. Even if this doesn't work eventually I may never eat meat again anyway. Because in the end I have lost 8.6 lbs and 2 1/2 inches from my waist and feel waaaaay better than I did before so it is working just not in the big way I want it to yet!
