Hi,
im an athlete in triathlon and Ironman fields,
ive been on a vegan diet for 5 month now,
i keep a very strict diet, everything is calculated i dont eat any fat that is not from vegan diet.
almonds, tehini & avocado i think are the only things i eat with fat (but the good kind).
mostly vegetables, fruits, brown and wild rice, and pasta from rice flower.
no milk at all (no kind of milk), a bit tofu, saiten here and there and bread
but mostly whole wheat with grains.
before i started on vegan diet my cholesterol was fine:
cholesterol: 178.6 now 215.9
triglycerides: 125 now 167
cholesterol HDL: 40 now 50
cholesterol LDL: 113 now 132.2
cholesterol NON HDL: 138 now 166
does it make sense ?
i'd appreciate any info
