Excuse me? The post literally says “ criticize it mercilessly”.

You attacked their mental health, you didn't critique anything. Also, learn the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE

18 minutes of strength training is nothing. Forget the jog and do 45 minutes lifting.

Looks good! I’d add veggies (I do spinach + leftovers) and egg whites (for more protein) to the eggs and skip the cheese. Also recommend more strength training.

If I eat the amount you guys list, I'll be hungry after 2 hours. And I have done that before so I know. I notice it helps when I eat oatmeal with hemp seeds and several spoons of yogurt. Even with that, I'll be reaching for a hard boil egg or something more in 2 hours.

Increase the strength training to 3x a day is recommended. Perhaps focus on a different area.

Dinner was chicken broccoli stir fry with white rice and a glass of milk.

I had one cookie with a neighbor as a snack.

Definitely not hungry and very few cravings.

I run because I enjoy it. I lift because I have to. I work a full-time job and cannot lift 3x a day. IMO, the best exercise is the one you do consistently. I do 10-15 mins a day of Strength Training because I hate it so much that's all I can handle. I will take any tips for ways to do it that are more fun.

I do some selection of the below with free weights most days.

Shoulder press
Bicep Curls
Tricep Extensions
Football Goal Post
Shoulder Shrugs
Planks
Curl Ups
Bicycle abs
Superman
Chest press
Chest fly
Straight arm raises to front and side
Rotator cuff with Theraband
Squats
Calf Raises

I think PP was recommending 3x a week. You have some great exercises above, I’m not sure how you do all of those in 18 minutes! I would split between arms and chest one day, legs and glutes another. No need for calf raises, but add in deadlifts, lunge variations and squat variations to train your lower body a bit more. My best tips to make it fun are to play some great music or play a class from the peloton app.

Thank you! I do 4-5 a day and kind of rotate, not all of them in each session. Music is a good idea. I’ll try it.

I have nothing to criticize mercilessly or otherwise.
I mean, like eat fish? Nothing you wrote would give you high LDL. You were eating something else to get it elevated.

Nope. OP here. I think my high LDL must be genetic. I’ve eaten this way for years. Never been above BMI 22 either.

Today.

Easy walk at lunch

Oatmeal with blueberries and chopped pecans with a glass of milk for breakfast.

Apple and cheese stick for lunch.

Chipotle bowl with brown rice, chicken, beans, fajita vegetables, and salsa.

Might be able to get in another walk after dinner but I think it will be raining.

Very possible it is genetic indeed. My BIL has it and was eating fish and salads for a long while, with no impact at all. My DS had it and will still get it on occasion. DH has it(though I am pretty sure that is BCS of sugar sodas and Mcdonald's). I am fine and eat red meat and pork and whole chickens (skin is my fav) like there is no tomorrow. No high LDL, or other markers.

Milk is awful for you, linked with cancer and not so great for the animals themselves. Water or oat milk or almond milk maybe? Thinking nutritionally, I'd take the cheese out and sub more fruits and veggies.

Come on. This is a false claim. There's not enough quality research to support your claims.

I’m 48F with good blood pressure, slightly high LDL without a good HDL to balance it, no blood sugar issues, BMI 21.5, and no underlying health conditions. Main goal is maintaining and possibly getting my cholesterol ratio better.

Morning

Walk 2.5 miles - 131 bpm
Strength training - 15 minutes upper body with free weights

Two eggs with a 1/2 oz cheddar cheese
Cup of 1% milk
Cup of blueberries
Hot tea no sugar

Diet -

I would swap the 1% milk for a cup of 1% yogurt and put the blueberry in it. Add some hemp hearts and crushed walnuts or almonds in it.

Add spinach, tomatoes, onions in your eggs and cheese, use some olive oil to cook an omelette.

nuts and olive oil will help to bring up your good cholesterol number.

Exercise -
Maybe bump up the weight training for additional 5 minutes.

Great suggestions. Thank you. I planned to put spinach in my eggs but when I looked in the fridge we were all out. What are hemp hearts? I drink 1% due to saturated fat content. I switch between 1-2%.

If you do not have spinach, put zuccini. If you do not have zuccini put something else - peppers, grated carrots, grated cabbage, grated cauliflower, smashed lima beans etc. What you are trying to do is add colorful veggies and fiber. It will provide the complex carbs that you need to keep blood sugar stable, keep you full, provide the fiber to keep you regular and help to reduce cholesterol.

Salsa is an easy way to add some veggies too.
