IP rocks, I have the best results from my blood work for a looonnng time!!!

Bad Cholesterol is 3.3 (which is low in Canada) and my good cholesterol is really low at .5!!! my fasting blood sugar is 4.4 which is great!! my blood pressure is way down at 120/69!!! My Dr. is very happy with my weight lose and told me that I looked the best in years!!!!

Can't say enough good things about IDEAL PROTEIN!!!!!!

Journeysend ... Congratulations! That's a good LDL reading for sure. Your HDL is low, but I'd bet your vitamin D is low. Both are easily fixed with vitamin D3 supplementation. Most modern-day Canadians are vitamin D3 deficient because we get so little sun and we eat little or no organ meat.

If you want to convert your HDL, LDL, & total to the "American" measurements (mg/dL), multiply the cholesterol levels in mmol/L by 38.66. So your levels are
HDL: 19 mg/dL (optimal is between 40 and 95 mg/dL)
LDL: 116 mg/dL (optimal is below 150 mg/dL)

Great job! You must be so happy :-)

that is great!!! Don't worry about the HDL mine got down to the low 20's in august. I just had it rechecked & it is 70. I asked Dr. Tran & he says that is very normal on this diet & it returns to a good normal level within 6 months of being on maintenance.

congratulations!

Congrats Journeysend, that's so encouraging! I had my numbers checked right after I started IP and my cholesterol was already way down but I don't know if that was a fluke result since I'd only started a week previously. I can't wait to get my next checkup and see those kinds of results!

My coach has told me many stories of clients who have improved their health numbers dramatically, and have gotten off medications because they're no longer needed. What a great payoff in addition to the weight loss!

Yes it is really good, I am off my hormone replacement therapy meds, down to 1 or 2 imodium at day from 10 to 12!!!! Saving money on meds, LOL
