Long. Story. Short.
In a supremely basic nutrition course, we were given the stats on a volunteer subject.
Caucasian male, 35years old, 5'8, 239lbs. Known medications are omeprazole, levsin, clonazepam were all as needed.
Subject had been on a ketogenic diet combined with high intensity interval training for 3.5months and lost a total of 41lbs.
We were given labs on a variety of things and were tasked with evaluation if there was/is/will be a current risk for CVD now or in the future. It was mentioned that neither parents have familial hypercholesteremia or any heart issues.
Total Cholesterol - 260
LDL - 199
HDL - 56
Triglycerides - 54
Glucose - 73 (fasting)
Blood Pressure - 120/80
C- Reactive Protein - 10.73% mg/dl
WBC - normal
RBC - normal
Thyroid - normal
A1C - 5.3% normal
I know absolutely ZILCH about nutrition coming from a ketogenic angle like this problem has. The trigs are low and HDL, glucose and BP are great, but that TC and LDL are high. I wasn't concerned with my answer until I saw the C-Reactive Protein! Now I'm unsure if that is there from a CVD standpoint or if from the soreness of the HIIT routine the volunteer says he does.
Anyone have insight to help an old MSIII guy at this point?
