TG 150 > 134
LDL 203 > 118
Still on the high side, but it's only been two weeks. I've another blood test in a month. I'm curious to see those numbers! I'm not being absolutely crazy about eating. I did have a Cheeseburger and fries the other day. If a craving hits, I give in to it. But as a general life style eating, I've removed most of the bad stuff.

Very good. You look on a good track. Just make it sustainable.
I also cut the starch to almost zero. Except for breakfast when I have half helping of oat rolls made into a sort of porridge with salt water and the fruit there is. Then no more starches, except f.i. Iridal soup with some potatoes, or Sunday pesto. Exceptions.
I use fats, both sorts. Animal fats only for frying, and cream for seasoning. Small amounts of olive oil for salads. Most of my fats come from nuts and from fish.
Now I am back on a strict diet as I want to loose that extra inch, but generally I try to go for flavor and variety so that I cook only once, for the girls and for me. Now has to be two different menus. Mine lean, their satisfying (yesterday, i was still under chock from the dentist, i set them up with barley soup, home made salami and fat cheese from our friend from the mountain, with buttered rolls).
