I have been stuck at 6.6, which is safe but not wonderful, for YEARS...and only by virtue of lots of medications.
Also good news....my triglycerides have dropped to 126.
And my HDL (the good cholesterol number) is a whopping 72.....LDL (bad stuff) 115.
All of this by eating more veggies, more healthy fats, and fewer carbs....cutting out fast food, processed stuff, and the artificial sweeteners.
I'm beyond thrilled....and couldn't care less what the scale says tomorrow.
5.9 DANG!
