11 week observation: diet works!

56M. The tips here really helped! I limited saturated fat to roughly 15g per day and added psyllium powder before one or occasionally two meals per day. Those were the only changes I made. (For context, I was already pretty low-carb but was loading up on animal fats.) Bottom line: diet really does work, at least with me.

TC: 215 => 173
HDL: 71 => 75
Triglycerides: 61 => 57
LDL: 129 => 85
Apolipoprotein B: 100 => 84

2013 Pilot ex-l with 180,000 miles

The car has been great but I’m wondering if I should keep maintaining it or just let it fail naturally. Specifically, I replaced the timing chain at 100k and flushed the transmission fluid once. If I repeat these now, would I have a good chance of getting to 250k? Everything else is in order.

One cheat meal — help please!

I got bad labs six weeks ago and have been limiting saturated fat to 15g and loading up on psyllium husk and plant sterols. BUT: my kid is graduating this weekend and wants to go to a steakhouse. I will do my best there (no cheese obviously) but I’m gonna crush a NY strip or filet. How much of a setback will this be for me? Any tips on pregame or postgame strategy?
