Well, that settles that.
How is the weight loss going?
I weighed how I was going to respond. I knew you would react I just didnt know how.
I hit a wall a couple of days ago and gained about 2 pounds. I have since lost those and I'm headed back in the right direction. I had a couple of foods in my diet I need to get rid of. I had pizza last week and about an hour later I felt like I ate a Chia Pet. Another night I had a peppermint candy binge. Mentally I'm still not over it. I thought I was stronger than that.
One thing about the FitDay charts, the negatives are glaring, the solutions are a little harder.
Including today, the last seven day average was Fat 59%, Carbs 21% and Protein 19% based on an average 1264 calories a day.
I do feel stronger and my stamina throughout the day is good. It is a matter of fine tuning the diet.
Dont sweat it. A little diversion every now and then can and will happen.
Yeah, I think your right. This morning I'm at my lowest weight since I started TRT and the LCHF diet. From March 13th, to today April 13th, I have lost 8.3 lbs. Also, My blood sugar reading this AM was 89. I can never remember a reading below 93, ever! I believe the magnesium has helped. I'd like to add another 200mg to my intake, but I will wait until after the stress test, Tuesday.
An oldie but goodie:
Comparison of Mechanism and Functional Effects of Magnesium and Statin Pharmaceuticals
"•Statin medications inhibit the same rate-controlling enzyme of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway that requires adequate Mg for normal deactivation, regulation and control.
•Both the highly beneficial pleiotropic and adverse effects of statins appear to be caused by the decrease in mevalonate (and perhaps other intermediaries in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway) rather than a lower LDL-C.
•Statin drugs lower LDL-C levels more sharply than do Mg supplements, but Mg more reliably acts to improve all aspects of dyslipidemia including raising HDL-C and lowering triglycerides, and has the same pleiotropic effects as statins without their adverse effects.
HMG CoA Reductase is an important enzyme in lipid and cholesterol metabolism, but it is not the only one. The statins act by inhibiting, temporarily, the enzyme, in a dose response relationship whereas the magnesium ion (Mg2+) is an important part of a complex control and regulation of this important pathway. Both lower LDL-C, some statins can raise HDL-C and lower triglycerides, but Mg supplements do both quite reliably."

charisse, Isn't it true, most vegetables today do not contain the quantity of nutrients as in years past? Including Magnesium.
What do you recommended in "dark green, leafy vegetables" ?

"Circulating and dietary magnesium are inversely associated with CVD risk, which supports the need for clinical trials to evaluate the potential role of magnesium in the prevention of CVD and IHD."

"Low urinary magnesium excretion was independently associated with a higher risk of IHD incidence. An increased dietary intake of magnesium, particularly in those with the lowest urinary magnesium, could reduce the risk of IHD."

LW?, Can there in fact be other elements for some people to have more magnesium than other people? It appears, in this study, magnesium was not supplied as a possible preventative and then measured.
Can a person that is healthy, inherently have more magnesium in their system for unknown reasons?
A study that indicates persons who ingest or supplement magnesium would therefore have fewer incidences of IHD, would be more valuable, would it not?
.
The time for clinical trials is long overdue. The problem is it will have to be sponsored by a non-profit org (that could take a LONG time, so dont hold your breath) since no commercial sponsor will be interested. There is no opportunity to get a patent on magnesium.
At the very least the need is now recognized. In the meantime, health-minded people would do well to supplement...
