someone pointed out this happens with large amounts of weight loss Yes, it's hard enough to understand the dynamics of metabolism while we are in stasis let alone what happens during dramatic change periods. and we should expect better results next time around. I was not disappointed in my numbers. They have been and continue to be OK. My HDL and Trig meet Dr Davis's target of 60. LDL is a bit high but I can't complain about the absolute value of my numbers. I just expected to see some change, some effect from the revised diet, and there was none. The other day Dr Davis, in talking about the Paleolithic diet said: "Followers of this blog know that wheat elimination is among the most powerful cholesterol-reducing strategies available." Well, I haven't eaten wheat in seven months. In that time my LDL dropped a point and my HDL dropped five, the latter not an improvement and the former not much of one. So my reaction is not disappointment with my numbers but surprise that there is no blood evidence of the change. maybe review what your eating. i went up a little in blood sugar... however i was eating a lot of fruit. My blood sugar was up .2 from seven months ago. Like I said, I have eaten virtually no sugar. By that I meant not just refined sugar but virtually no fruit or other high glycemic plants. Berries a couple of times a month. Sometimes my sashimi place gives me a single slice of orange with my check and I eat it so as not to be rude. That's about it for sugar, unless you want to get down to measuring the sugar in eggplant and lettuce. Hence my surprise at the rise in blood glucose. So maybe your cutting back on the fruit wouldn't have made a difference.
