Thread: Do you check your cholesterol levels?

Nowt wrong with vegetarianism nor much great about it either, but vegetarians with their false sense of moral superiority like the pollidge-chucker are deficient in grace (and probably iron and protein also )

Interesting mountain biking attire, especially the shoes.

I have known about half a dozen vegetarians...They have all been really really weird neurotic guys. Skin color look sick, almost a death gray and PITFA to go anywhere with. Need special foods and then they drop tons of vitamins to compensate. FFS just eat some Meat, its good for you. We are carnivores not berry eating animals. Nothing better then a big fat ass Strip Beef steak, about 1.5" thick fresh off the grill, medium rare. Loads of iron, vitamin D.

I dress quite differently for my daily 35 to 60 k rides. ( Or 8 to 10 k runs, depending on the weather).

Anyway pollidge man, you started it, let's have a look at you.

'White' potatoes.
A lot of those food websites are so full of crap it's embarrassing.
It's like they are written by high school students as projects.

LD doesn't have anyone to take a photo for him. He's single. And he can't afford a camera becuse he's saving up to pay a 320 dollar (AUD) speeding fine.

Stuff is rather fattening but good!

Actually retirement is OUTSTANDING. However a fat paying job working for a US company is something I can enjoy as well. Lots of Perks but the best part is, I can walk any time.

I stopped talking to all of them. Way to high maintenance and even more of a bother was them constantly badgering waitresses about their special needs.

Pet peeve of mine that.

Beyond 'I'll have side choice X or Y or Z please' and 'I'll have that well-done or medium rare or rare' shut the fock up.

I get that people like their meal a certain way. But Vegetarians have to kick out all that other BS, like is the sauce made with cow milk, does the sauce have any meat by products, can I get a side of this and a side of that. Then comes the vegetable stuff...its embarrassing so I said when you can order like a damn human being and not some picky bitch we can meet up again. Until then find a vegetarian support group and all you anemic sickly twats can compare notes.

Totally agree. I've got no qualms with vegetarianism especially if it's on health or ethical reasons but I'm not going to any vegetarian restaurants (at least not often) so if you're coming to eat with me fuck of with all that shite!

How does alcohol raise your cholesterol?

When you drink alcohol, it’s broken down and rebuilt into triglycerides and cholesterol in the liver. So, drinking alcohol raises the triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood. If your triglyceride levels become too high, they can build up in the liver, causing fatty liver disease. The liver can’t work as well as it should and can’t remove cholesterol from your blood, so your cholesterol levels rise.
Alcohol can lead to the combination of a high triglyceride level along with low HDL cholesterol. This can lead to heart disease.

That's also what I have lately learned. I will give laying off beer for a a few months, and be retested. But I will not like it LOL.
Just came back to NY yesterday to participate in a large construction project, all my buddies that I have being working with for years are involved. It will not me essay.
To those who struggle with the cholesterol issue and don't want to be on statins, (as this thread indicates) I suggest they look into the alcohol issue and see if it would be of benefit to them.,
I will update after a couple pf months and see what affect my alcohol abstinence had.
Assuming I am disciplined enough to stick with it.
I think I am, wish me luck!

^ Good luck.

^^ Ditto. Keep us updated.
