Lab Test Results
I went in last week for a routine physical. As part of the physical I had some lab tests run and here are the results compared with my previous physical. These changes are a direct result of me doing an elimination diet, finding out some of my food intolerances and steering clear of processed foods and all types of sugars.

There's still a lot of room for improvement but to no longer be in the danger areas really thrills me. My LDL is the only result currently out of healthy (or normal) range and I'm still working to perfect my diet so I'm okay with continuing to tweak my eating habits.
One of the biggest leaps seems to be my triglyceride level. I think that one is a direct result of stopping all forms of sugar. I do use about 1 tsp of honey every couple of weeks and about 1 Tbl of maple syrup once a week. Otherwise no sugar, agave, stevia, aspartame, saccharin, molasses, fructose, anything. I get plenty of easily metabolized sugars from the fruits and grains I eat.
I look forward to continuing my quest for optimal health and seeing next year's results.
