I remember I had a check up a few years back and the doctor said that my LDL rose. I was ****ing shocked since I'm pretty fit. She pretty much hypothesized that it was probably my increased fast food intake for dinner since that was pretty much the differentiator compared to before. Also, I didn't walk or jog that much that year so she said that might have been another contributing factor. Furthermore, I didn't really eat too much fast food or sweets growing up so I think my body has a hard time dealing with the two, that's my theory anyways. She ended up suggesting less cholesterol-heavy food, less sodium, more oats, more fish, and more fruits and veggies. She actually first suggested I go vegan and I was like "nah, can't live that bland life". But I do opt out of meat every now and again with salads.
Im in the same boat I work out everyday, mostly cardio and my LDL/cholesterol was elevated. Some of it may be genetic or the fact that I eat an ungodly amount of shell fish. HDL was great cause I eat good fats from fish, so that was a good balance.
So i gott cut back on that I skip breakfast so eggs arent a problem and I only eat shrimp, crab and lobster twice a week. Salads pretty much every night.
In other words #washed
