4 weeks into Body Opus diet and just 100mg/wk TRT

[Demondosage]

Was that something you knew to anticipate going in or discovered along the way i.e. the higher cholesterol blood levels as a result?

Discovered it after bloods. I'm glad I found out too because I started using Winny on Friday which raises cholesterol levels. So going to cut Winny to 3x a week at 50mg each , change diet, cardio on the daily, and limit certain foods

A little off topic, but mentioning Winny...I realize most will run it towards the end of the cycle, but was wondering your thoughts on Var in general?

I like anavar a lot. Unfortunately I can't run it anymore because I'm a diabetic and almost any oral will throw my glucose high, even anavar. But anavar is good because you can run it out longer than other orals without the ramifications on health and as bad on liver

How would you recommend going about for a first time use on Var? I hear you need to be taking 60mg/day in order to truly reap benefits. Also, that you have to go at least 8 weeks, but i would rather do 6 weeks. What say you?

Odd for some one in your shape and low body weight to be diabetic
Could your past insulin use of caused this?

Nah, never used it that much or for that long, usually limited it to only 3-4 wks at a time and maybe once or twice a year. What probably caused this was a combination of broken sleep, training and dieting too much and my immune system deciding to tell my pancreas to fuck off. Or the combination of eating about 8 cups of rice a day for a long time. I quit asking why, I just deal with it. I take insulin the way a person takes TRT, yea poking ur finger 5x a day sucks but it becomes part of life just like meal prep. I've been a diabetic for about 4 years now, hasn't stopped me

One thing that happened from that diet was a huge elevation in cholesterol levels. I got my bloodwork back and my cholesterol was 100 points higher than it usually runs. Body Opus is good for some quick fat loss but nothing I'd be doing no more than 6-8 weeks max

That sucks. One of the big selling points for a low carb diet are better cholesterol levels (supposedly ).

Initially, but with some people extreme low carb and higher fat = high cholesterol

It's not everybody, but if u look up low carb/high fat diets and cholesterol you'll see that it can skyrocket some people's levels

Not from what I have read by Dr.Jeff Volek, PhD and Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD/PhD. Just the opposite.

its really not that bad, the oil definitely helps. You'd think it'd be terrible, but those healthy fats definitely help. Now, not going to lie, first 3 days are a breeze, the other 2 days without carbs are a struggle, but I just blast through them

Have you tried any Generation UCan? Starch without the carbs.

I think it would depend on what type of fats they're ingesting...

Yea, fat gets a bad rap which is unfounded.

I've always had great luck on low to no carbs, my bloodwork is always perfect, I tend to focus on intaking good fats though

I don't know what a good fat is. I take my milk full fat or use heavy cream, and eat all the fat in my steaks. I also get my fats from nuts and avocados.
