That’s true, but not sure if the genetic factor plays in all that much when you managed such a substantial drop very quickly with a very significant dietary change. If anything surely someone susceptible to genetically high cholesterol would be harder to lower via diet than someone who’s diet has caused it.
Either way I think your results are very interesting and commendable - particularly following the conventional science of cutting sat fat.
Oh for sure: I am more saying I am more prone to run high in the first place, hence why a high sat fat intake had me so high to start. And appreciate the sentiments much dude!
@Voxel - thought I’d answer here rather than clog up Koestrizer’s journal I eat usually 4-5 meals a day occasionally up to 6, but I prefer to eat bigger meals and less often, not really a snacker.
In related news weight is still moving upwards, now 209.
Wow you is gettin massasive!!
Yup gained a whole 3lb since the start of this log (July!) Seem to finally be picking up speed though, shw before I know it!
Mate gaining weight is easy, gaining muscle is the hard bit.
Try being female, I swear we’re basically sentient fat storage machines
True, although I’m struggling with both at the moment (mainly haven’t been disciplined enough eating over past few months coming together better now).
I’d like to think that maybe 1 or 2 of those lbs is muscle!
Haha, embrace it - mass moves mass!
Or if you can’t embrace change gender!
Week 2 day 2 - weight 210.25! (Pr at this level of leaness - 217 is highest ever weight, be interested to see what I look like when I get there this time).
Conditioning, can’t really call it this at this point - casual moving: 10 mins rowing 2027m. Beep test for job tomorrow no problems but took it very easy here, might push a bit harder next time.
1 hour break personal stuff cropped up and interrupted.

I’ll give it to you @zeptrey that wasn’t as bad as the first week. Got it done quick today.
Deadlifts make me need a shit too.
Next week is a grind and it gets worse from there.
Haha it’s the fear man!
Oh, great, thanks!
Surely week 5 is ok?!
theoretically yes…
If I had the time/energy, I’d insert a lengthy paragraph of notes from (insert name of decision science class)
Go on your know you want to!
I’m hopeful, but preparing for a big no.
Do less conditioning mate and embrace the belly
Haha no conditioning is a mandatory for me (plus it’s 10 mins 3 times a week, I’m really not entirely sure it counts as anything other than a brief sweat) the belly will come in time I’m sure, just hit up a huge plate of pasta tuna, tomato sauce and tuna, couple more hours I’ll do the same again with a protein shake, added peanut butter to my pre-training shake, and will probably throw that in on a semi regular basis - not sure what the end goal is for bulking, when tying shoe laces gets hard that’s probably a sign…
What job is that? Police?
