Holy Smokes !!!!!! Cholesterol @ 454!!!!!!!!

[Torch]

Some already stated some of this.


Many foods are linked to an improved cholesterol profile. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids including flaxseed oil, may protect against high cholesterol. Foods containing vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, pantethine (active form of vitamin B5--pantothenic acid), chromium, and copper may have cholesterol-lowering properties. Foods rich in lycopenes may be useful in moderating cholesterol levels.

There are also a number of individual foods that have proven to have cholesterol-lowering potential. Studies show that individuals who eat large amounts of both garlic and onions have lower cholesterol levels. Chili peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and artichokes have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. In a small study involving shiitake, healthy women who ate about 2/3 cup (approximately 3 oz) of fresh shiitake for a week experienced a drop in cholesterol by 9% to 12%. Carrots may lower cholesterol, possibly due to their calcium pectate (a soluble fiber) content. A recent government study showed a significant decrease in cholesterol among subjects who ate 1 cup of carrots per day. On average, participants experienced an 11% drop in blood cholesterol after only 3 weeks.

Yes, stick to fish and eggwhites for a while. Eat lots of fiber I am telling you. Rolled oats are great, brown rice, veggies, fruit (like blueberries and rasberries), Metamucil, beans, etc. Peanuts are a good choice since they have omega-6's which are healthy - make sure it is NATURAL peanut butter if you opt for PB. Good luck bro.

I have been preaching on this issue for months. The single worst side os AAS use is a crappy cholesterol profile with terrible HDL and high LDL.
Winstrol seems to be the absolute worst roid in this regard. All other 17aa roids are quite bad too.

I am an RN and a health freak that is not a "quack" I have also used roids for a while(40 years old) My advice to you goes like this.......

DO NOT EVER TOUCH 17aa roids again.
Also keep your overall juice doses moderate.

If you want to kick start a cycle then do loading doses on day one of your injectables. The only bros that ever need 17aa roids are perhaps power lifters that do not want to add body weight. For them anavar or halo might be called for.

Avoid saturated fat. They are found in red and white meats and egg yolk as well as whole dairy products. The only fat the body actually needs are Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. They actually help to improve HDL and lower ldl. Grind a few tablespoons of golden flax seeds in a bone dry blender or electric coffee grinder and mix it into your protein shakes. In this way you get tons of fiber plus omega 3 and 6 oil.
Vegetables are high in omega 6 and grains, seeds and some fish(Salmon, Tuna, Sardines) are high in both especially omega 3

Increase your fiber intake as other bros have said, especially oats.

Try to decrease your overall cholesterol intake(although saturated fat is far worse) All meats including fish have about the same amount of cholesterol per pound. Eat only one egg yolk per day too.

Get the bulk of your protein from ionized whey protein and non fat dairy and egg whites as well as the fish mention, especially sardines. Try them in a tomato base and they are quite good. Make sardine sandwiches on whole grain bread.

Be sure to take extra vitiman E and C

Be sure to do 30 minutes of cardio three times per week as this will really help increase hdl and lower ldl.

Never cook with any oil except extra virgin olive oil and perhaps a little butter. margarine is toxic and contains trans fatty acids that screw with your cholesterol. ALL super market oils except olive oil have been super heated and are toxic.
If you cook with olive oil or butter then keep the heat LOW. I like to use an electric frying pan and keep the heat 250 or less.

Get the book "Fats that Heal Fats that Kill" by Udo Erasmus....fantasic scientist and no quack!

Forgot to add.....look at labels....almost everything has partially hydrogentated oils and these are toxic and really mess with the cholesterol profile. Fully hydrogenated oils are okay as they are neutral(the fat in chocolate)

Hope this helps

Roids that do aromatize much or at all BUT are not 17 aa.

#1. Trenbolone acetate at 50 per day is by far the best choice
#2. Boldenone ...as is aromatizes at only half the rate of testosterone.

Winstrol was made popular by Ben Johnson and his world record 100meter time BUT it is very hard on the cholesterol profile and not too easy on the liver taken IM for 8-10 weeks.

I agree with RealGains, I was on a strength program and taking Anavar and winny together. Got a blood test for life ins. And my HDL was 10 and LDL 140. It F@#$ me good on the cost of Life ins. I know pay what the un-fit would.

Stay away from 17aa's especially Winny

 

[buffut1]

That is amazing... I recently had my chol. checked while on winny/cyp and it was 167 total.

My guess is either you diet is absolutely horrible (with diet this bad you should weigh about 450#'s with 70% bf), or you were not fasting.

I suggest rechecking when you've been off the roids for a couple of months and make sure you are fasting for at least 8 hours prior to the test.
