FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Scott, as promised I got some blood work. While I did start splitting up my TRT the dose was the same so the main changes that occurred were from diet mostly and training to some degree. Training in the sense that maybe there was a more cardio-like effect from the higher reps but then again I was previously training 5-6 days per week vs only 3 days per week now. Diet wise I went from a more mixed / carb heavy diet (but also lower calorie since I was only a couple months out from dieting) to an FT diet of carb focused on workout days and <100g of carbs on most off days and therefore more fats such as EVOO, avocado, nuts, peanut butter and eggs. Total fat on those days were usually 130-170 (previous was 50-80g on most days)

Before:

Cholesterol, Total: 184 (125-200 mg/dL)
HDL Cholesterol: 56 (> 40 mg/dL)
Cholesterol/HDL: 3.3 (< 5.0)
LDL Cholesterol: 112 (<130 mg/dL)
Triglycerides: 81 (<150 mg/dL)
Non-HDL Cholesterol: 128 (30 more than LDL target)




Current:

Cholesterol, Total: 164 (125-200 mg/dL)
HDL Cholesterol: 66 (> 40 mg/dL)
Cholesterol/HDL: 2.5 (< 5.0)
LDL Cholesterol: 85 (<130 mg/dL)
Triglycerides: 67 (<150 mg/dL)
Non-HDL Cholesterol: 96 (30 more than LDL target)

Those are fairly substantial changes. CONGRAT's.

What's the time span in between?

(Why did you decide to train 3 x / week?...)
