I have had these inside a garden shed for 3 years. Used to store power tools. Still going strong.

I have been going to the gym for 2 years now. I don't know what my body fat% is but I am not too worried about my physique.

There is no family history of high cholesterol. That's why I started to try to find out why I have it. Either way I have concluded that I…

I think you are correct. For a normal person, it is probably ok but not for me because of genetics. I want to reduce this by a small margin…

I also forgot to mention that I also have a protein shake sometime in the day.

Thanks for sharing. That is good. I think a CAC test is a much better indicator of heart health than cholesterol. The reason I use lite…

Thanks. Will check this out.

That's quite scary when you can have a heart attack so young when your cholesterol is low (the range given is 3.5 to 5.5 in the blood test…

I cook my own food. Mostly weights at the gym. Treadmill only for warmup.

Lmao. I am thinking mine is just genetics even though no one else in my family has high cholesterol.

I am not ignoring my GP's advice at all. On the contrary, I was already following what my GP has asked me to do.

I do keep a food log (use an app called myfitnesspal). I don't eat anything unhealthy as far I can tell. This is why it is confusing.

This might be the way to go. I might ask the doctor to refer me to a dietician. Thanks. I already have a food diary so should be relatively…

Yeah it most likely is. I am guessing it is for the traded-in device. Hard to tell because it doesn't say in the email what it is for.
