High Cholesterol

[n1tro]

So apparently my cholesterol is 9.22 on this paper the doctor printed off for me. Safe range being 0 - 5.20

I eat a ton of red meat. This sucks.

Everything in moderation. Eat turkey and chicken sometimes instead of beef. Red meat is the most fatty (saturated fat) meat. turkey and chicken are much more lean.

n1tro, aren't you ON right now? or at least recently off a cycle? if so, you can expect your lipids and liver enzymes to be off the charts.... and even if you take measures at this point to bring them down, it will still take 2-3 months!

Thanks bro. What can I say I enjoy eating steaks and ground beef in a lot of stuff. I just got home from the doctor and the more I read about cholestoerol and heart disease the more glad I am that I at least don't smoke.

Yeah I am. I feel pretty uneducated when it comes to my cholesterol and I am guilty of not staying in communication with my doctor in the past regarding my health and steroids. Are you saying its normal to hve a cholesterol level this high while being on? I was sure this is something telling me I need to change up parts of my diet regardless if I'm on the gear right now or not?

oh, hell. yeah, don't smoke. I've never tried a single drag on a fag (no jokes please) or a sip of booze my entire life. Shit ain't good for ya.

Doing some extra cardio shoulde help. Also, make sure you get som omega-3 fatty acid pills and take 1-3 a day. It will help kep your heart healthy and help maintain a more healthy cholesterol level. And cheerios, lol kidding.

yes, it's very normal.... you can take all the supplements for heart health you want (and it's a good idea), but your levels will still be elevated in the end. This is one of the reasons to run cycles for moderate lengths of time....you need to give your body a break on all fronts.

lol, I already do supplement with omega 3/6/9's everyday. As for never having a sip of booze in my life, can't say i havn't had a few good nights with my good friend Jack Daniels. As for right now I haven't been drinking a drop though. And btw, i enjoy a bowl of cheerios once in a while too.
