#LabResults for cardio (a new guy) follow up.
A little disappointed with the results. I have been in active weight loss for ~20 weeks, but I ate normally (LCHF) three days prior to the blood draw. Fasted 12 hours, just black coffee (which hasn't been an issue prior). 1/6

TRIG: 76
HDL: 52
TRIG:HDL 1.46
That is the lowest HDL for the last four years, and this is as I've religiously walked natural surface trails every morning and started weight training just over a month ago. I expected higher HDL at the least. 2/6

CRP 1.8, also the highest in 7 years, since pre-LCHF diet. I did NOT weight train the day before the blood draw, so it had been about 44 hours.
Better news, HbA1c 5.2 (lower than last time, tied for all time lowest). Insulin: 5.0 (tied for lowest ever). 3/6

So HOMA-IR (1.2) much better than last time (2.3).
Remnant cholesterol 10, lowest in 3 years.
Hope new cardio doesn't freak at TC: 415, LDL 353.

Vitamin D: 42. This is on 4-5oz weekly beef liver, & 12 minutes a day in front of a Sperti Vitamin D lamp exposing the trunk (front, back, both sides) only. No supplements, no fatty fish, no sunlight since early September. This is however, my lowest reading ever. 5/6

On weekly fish and daily supplements, I'm used to levels between 64 and 72. I've ordered some cod livers, sardines, and will resume the supplement as I continue with the lamp.
Before the weather changed this fall, I was getting sunlight every day, clouds permitting. 6/6
