Low HDL and high triglycerides - what the hell can I eat at this point?
Might be more of a question for the nutrition sub but I've been feeling horrible lately (arm pain, cannot get a good night's sleep at all, headaches, occasional shortness of breath) - I've already gone to see a cardio that is gonna do a stress test on Friday and an echo at the end of the month. (Also have to pay for all this out of pocket because my insurance deductible is high, but that's a different story)
And I took a blood test and it showed:
HDL: 28
Triglycerides: 297
Total cholesterol: 136
LDL: 48
I weigh 130lbs at 5'7 so losing weight isn't really an option. High cholesterol and heart issues run in my family.
At this point, I've cut out:
Breakfast in general (I fast until lunch, but sometimes I'll have a mix of Greek yogurt, blueberry, and walnuts)
Red meat (except chicken and ground turkey)
I rarely eat pasta or bread anymore.
Generally try to stay under 70-80% of my total daily allowed sugar (working more on getting this under 60% and cutting out soda)
But at this point. ... Idk what to eat. I feel hungry all the time because it doesn't seem like I can have anything that doesn't have cholesterol, carbs, sugar, fat.
