Most important value in your lipid panel is not LDL. It’s triglyceride to HDL ratio. If >2, you got metabolic syndrome. Have high insulin levels. Time for fasting. Change what you eat and how often you eat.

Fasting is tough even with discipline. How I make it easier: - Cut out sugary drinks & desserts - Hydrate with water in the morning - Load up on protein & fiber - Walk regularly - Sip on hot herbal tea Take control of your metabolic health with intermittent fasting.
