Well, my bloodwork came back and no big surprise, my HDL is very low. 11 to be exact on a fasted blood draw. I typically hover in the high teens low 20s but this is definitely the lowest.
I'm looking for help. All I read about raising it says to be active (I'm active every day), lose excess weight (I'm below 9% bf), choose better dietary fats (right now I'm on a low fat diet), and drink alcohol in moderation (not drinking anything right now).
The only two things I can change is the fats and alcohol. Now I know alcohol and bodybuilding are not all that kosher together, but I've heard several times even from a cardiologist, to have at least one beer a day. Now if I were to do that, based on my training, when would be the best time to consume that? Before bed? Fats I'm going to address in my diet.
Any dietician wanna weigh in I'd appreciate it. I'm sure there are meds and after this show it may be time to go to the doc and get on something, for now I wanna try to raise it via other methods. Especially till I can get gear cleared from my system and get a good fair assessment.
I do take 4000mg fish oil ed and 1000 niacin. Apparently that doesn't have much bearing for me. Hormones I'm on are test, tren, mast, var, t3 and proviron.
