Wow things are really starting to turn round here!
10 mins ski erg machine. moderate pace not outkof breath but a little tired.
around 10-12 steps in work
diet mostly good .
bought two Aldi 0 fat greek yoghurt
12 more eggs.
might eat 2 eggs per day with a scoop of protein
i.e. waffle.
DrIdz believes 2 is safe unless one is a hyperresponder. Majority of cardiologist go with 1 daily is likely safe.
Not a huge fan of eggs anyway.

I believe most medical professionals will have a positive view of eggs. I think it would be rare to find someone suffering from heart disease that got there from eggs vs processed foods.
I can see your point of view . I suppose it depends on your starting point and individual needs chlosterol levels etc .
I asked chatgpt and it says 3 eggs is normally safe for most people. Doctors are always cautious I suppose.
Junk food is never good obviously.
I have blood test results coming up so I will go from there.
I definitely would not seek that for an opinion on what to put in my body.
I suppose it depends on your starting point and individual needs chlosterol levels etc .
In general, I can think of many many many many many many MANY foods that are regularly consumed without any concern whatsoever that I would consider far more dangerous than an egg. Itās honestly incredible how much weāve demonized eggs while ignoring Raisin Bran.
This passage comes out of Vince Girondaās āUnleashing the Wild Physiqueā, which was written in 1984. Weāve been fighting this for 40 years.

with respect that is very old information. The meta analysis of all the studies shows clearly that Ldl X chlosterol is the directly the cause of heart attacks .
Granted not just from eggs . But eggs do contain a lot.
That is my point: eggs have been under fire for years.
Granted not just from eggs . But eggs do contain a lot.
This is referring to LDL cholesterol in oneās blood lipids: not cholesterol consumed from dietā¦
This also doesnāt saw that LDL-C CAUSES heart attacks: itās saying that elevated LDL-C is always associated with heart disease.
Being able to accurately interpret these findings is critical. Donāt just take soundbites.

isnāt that how it generally gets into your blood lipids partly through diet .
ok I stand corrected . I asked chat gpt. minimal impact for most by healthy people through dietary chlosterol.
No, not generally: your liver is the producer of the majority of the cholesterol in your body. Your body RESPONDS to the foods you eat, and this can, in turn, result in an increase in LDL, but itās simply a matter that eating cholesterol creates cholesterol.
Nic Norrowitz has performed multiple experiments where he LOWERED his cholesterol by eating eggs, bacon, and oreos of all things.
Think of the function of LDL. Your body is producing it to heal inflammation. Think about HOW you could be causing systemic inflammation in your body. Quite often, if weāre talking nutrition, itās NOT from eggs: itās from all the other crap we eat and drink on a regular basis.
I donāt mean to beat this drum so hard, but this is one of those things that is stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. Limiting oneās egg intake is REALLY far down on the list of lifestyle changes to make to ensure better health.

called it a day . was stupid pulling close to 1rm again. 10kg more than last week.
pretty sure Iām stronger than last year.
been using chat gpt to analyse blood results
close to a fatty liver despite eating reasonably well this last month
need to lose at least 5kg to see improvement
hope to get back into normal range for diabetes
40 mins treadmill . mostly walking
Fatty liver takes more than a month to build, so it stands to reason it will take more than a month to lose.
Itās awesome youāve eaten reasonably well for this month. Ideally, you have found your why to overcome this how. From here, itās a game of consistency: doing the things you know are the right things to do.
Your training can go in that direction as well.

Just looking back you were 110kg Q4 of 2024, you were 120kg in 2017.
You are just bouncing back and forth and never really making progress. You recognise that this is dangerous and is (not will, not might, but is already) causing permanent lasting damage to your health, you recognise the need to make permanent changes to address this, and yet in 8 years, there really hasnāt been a change.
Have you given any thought as to whatās holding you back?
Iāve mentioned before that Iāve made changes - Iāve had hba1c thatās higher than Iād like - despite not being fat, and had slightly low HDL, slightly high blood pressure - things I monitor regularly and address immediately. The way I get these changes to stick is a mindset change, keep telling yourself that youāre someone who doesnāt eat (insert whatever is causing the issue) at all.
Be ruthless, eliminate everything thatās holding you back, donāt eat anything that you havenāt personally prepared, donāt eat anything with an ingredient list, only single ingredient items. Treat this like itās life or death, because letās be real, for you it is. Be meticulous - log everything here, itās surprising what even the tiny level of accountability that this forum provides will do for you.
Are you willing to do that? Before you answer that, remember that everything that matters to you in life, depends on you being at a bear minimum alive but probably fit and healthy as well (who really wants to be a burden to their nearest and dearest because they couldnāt committ to losing weight?).
Failing all this, if you really canāt commit to it well then maybe itās time to try ozempic.

Good, if I were you Iād put some pressure on yourself, you say you want to lose 5kg asap, thatās easily achievable within 10 weeks. Put a reminder in your diary for 10 weeks time, if you havenāt made it, book the Drs appointment for ozempic. If youāre really determined to stay off it, then put yourself in the position where it costs you something to not follow through.
