Started a healthy diet, when do I start to feel better?

My super healthy breakfast... an 18oz ribeye my son gave me for Father's Day. No fat trimming done to this beauty.

I don't count, but targeting 50 grams. Some cut-up chicken, nuts, chick peas, in a salad is a staple. A cup of yogurt for dessert. Sometimes it's fish and vegetables. I have protein powder, but don't use it often. I should, though.

I would start to try to get double that or try i won't say triple but that is what I try to target for
Lean meats ar best I'd probably limit nuts they really are not good source of protein as so dense in calories.

I used to ride like this too. It was some years ago, when I lived on the west side of Cleveland. In the city now, so getting in the miles is much harder. There is a nice area to ride near me, though, so I'll be ramping up soon...

Doc agreed to allow me to stop with the blood pressure pills. My pressure is in the 110/65 range now, with no medication. Five months ago, it was 40 points higher, so making progress.

I hit the 90 LB lost target this morning. All since the beginning of February, and no medication aids.

Had a follow-up blood test, and most things are good. My Non-HDL cholesterol is still kind of high, 191, but trending down. My AST liver test is still showing slightly high, but that's trending down too.

I signed up for the HAM newsletter, and my next step is to study the diet recommendations. I'm looking to accelerate the drive to lower my LDL cholesterol. My current diet is pretty good, but there is room for improvement...

Kudos to you!
