My Cholesterol came back really high and the triglyceride levels were far beyond normal. Started exercising, taking Fish Oil, Niacin and Vitamins.
Yeah biggest killer of men here in NZ, the old sneaky heart attack.
I have a family history of high blood pressure, Cholesterol, I also sit on my bum in an office for a job(now), so I exercise everday at lunch time (breaks day up also), but more importantly, its about the decisions you make on food, if you can find a better option than the one available, i.e a pie, burger or chips (umm french fries???), and there is a filled roll or wrap of some sort, well you know the one you need to hit up.
Apart from subway (i buy wraps there, not the sandwiches), Mcdonalds, and even KFC do wraps, which are pretty healthy also.
And to sound real a$#l, don't be afraid to count the amount of calories in your food, as you only need to eat about 2000 per day or so on average.
Here is a handy calorie counter, which i use.
http://www.webmd.com/diet/food-fitne...ner-calculator
i use it everynow and again, to see where i am over eating / or under eating in my case), and by how much (am on a training schedule), it has most branded foods in there also.
Changing from 3 big meals to 6 small meals will also help.
But on top of that, congrats on making a start, stay motivated (yeah hard I know) and keep it up.
Regards
Phil C
