I'm seeing James Blake live for the first time for his upcoming tour. What kind of stuff does he typically play? Does he play music from his own albums, or his features? I prefer his own albums to most of the features tbh.
12,763 minutes since 2011 for me.
Been on this journey for about a year now. My (m34 - 152lbs- 6ft) cholesterol was always 220+ and LDL around 120+ for a long time. For reference, I had my Apob and Lpa tested in February, which I added as a screenshot too. My cardio said see me back in a year, but no meds. My primary care said no meds, but I have my yearly checkup on Monday so I'll have to see what he says now.
I started taking it seriously around June of last year when I cut out egg yolks, went to egg whites. And also started eating oatmeal every morning with chia + flax seeds for a fiber bomb. This continued till around February this year when I started eating full eggs again because my new cardiologist said eggs don't impact your cholesterol and you can safely eat them again.
I only have two breakfasts. It's a 2 egg omelette in olive oil with 2 slices of sprouted wheat bread, and an oatmeal bowl (40g oats, 1tbsp chia, 1tbsp ground flax, 1 cup fat-free yogurt, lots of berries, and maybe some peanut granola). I alternate.
Before February it was a 3 egg white omelette, post February it's a 2 egg omelette.
I can't be sure other dietary factors didn't impact this. I've stopped monitoring my saturated fat intake daily, but I don't think it's gone up considerably in the last few months. I indulge in a dessert every now and then (ice cream is still rare, where before it was more common).
Are the egg yolks enough to bring LDL + cholesterol back up that much? I'm going to switch back to egg whites and retest in 3 months, but I'm curious what the opinion here is.
