It works I’m so happy that I can use a slogan from a statin commercial without using statins, I lowered my cholesterol without any prescription drugs!

Yesterday I went in to do my lab-work and today I have the results;

My HDL is still not within the standard I know it will get there eventually. This proofs you do not need statins to lower your cholesterol.

One other remark I want to make; The standard range is made up by the FDA and not necessarily a MUST have number or a healthy number for that matter.

There were more tests done and some I had no clue what it was for. To decipher your tests you can look it up here; www.labtestsonline.org/map/aindex.html a very handy website.

I was the runner up with earning $50 for our biggest loser contest at work. Lost 10 pounds in 12 weeks. The winner lost an impressive 20 pound. He wins everytime we have such a contest. So now its time for him to gain weight again. I’m happy with my $50 it was not a big deal at all, was losing weight no matter what.
