Blood test reports - Before and after starting Keto diet

-



Note: HbA1C is in percentage, hSCRP is in mg/L, while the units of all the other parameters are in mg/dL.
Note: My plan is it to do the tests every six months. I will keep adding to this table.

My Interpretations:

  1. Fasting glucose has come down which I believe is good.
  2. Triglycerides have come down from around 150 to under 70 as soon as I started the diet.
  3. HDL is increasing but is very resistant and slow. I need to add more fat maybe.
  4. LDL has been increasing a little but I am not bothered at all :-)
  5. HSCRP has drastically(and danegerously) increased in Jan 2017 and July 2017. I am not sure how to interpret this. Antibodies had something serious to fight with? However it has come down in the last two reports to safe levels :-) 
  6. HbA1C is in a healthy range
  7. Ketones are now measured(D3HB) from July 2017. I removed breakfast in Jan 2017 and Lunch in July 2017. Still the ketones were in the lower border in Jan 2018. I suspect the curd which I have been taking after the meal. In Jan 2018 I replaced the curd with 50 to 70 grams of butter everyday. Removal of curd probably brought me to optimal ketosis range in July 2018. For some unknown reasons it was in Jan 2019. But came back to 47.52 mg/dL in July 2019
  8.  From July 2019 I have started measuring fasting insulin as well. It shows less than 1 μU/ml, which is encouraging. It means that insulin is very low and cannot cause any damages.
  9. Had lots of carbs in December 2019 which probably had an effect on Insulin and Ketones :)
  10. March 2021: My weight has increased by 4 kg though I have not changed anything. My guess is that my metabolism has slowed down. :) Not doing exercises is probably not helping :D Could not get insulin tested this time. Triglycerides is a bit high. MAy be because of a bit of carbloading for 10 days.

CA-125 blood test results can change contingent upon the research facility that played out the examination. In many occurrences, notwithstanding, CA-125 levels are viewed as raised on the off chance that they are over 35 units for every milliliter. High levels of CA-125 don't really affirm the presence of ovarian disease or some other sort of malignant growth. CA-125 levels might be raised because of another wellbeing condition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeM9unssSw4&feature=youtu.be

Indian style Ketogenic diet

-
        Before even I completed reading the book "The art and science of low carbohydrate living" I realized how dangerous it is to have carbohydrates on a regular basis as the main fuel to my body. I however did not know what to eat if I got rid of Rice and Wheat. Though there were a lot of books, Articles and Videos about Ketogenic diets and recipes they were mostly from western countries. There were a few Intelligent Indians who had followed and written about their ketogenic diets and recipes. However it was not sufficient. Especially since I was a Vegetarian who does not eat even eggs.      On top of this my Wife who cooks all my food was crying after seeing what I am trying to get rid of. And my Mom and In-Laws also got to know about this and started questioning the validity of a diet which gets rid of Rice. My office colleagues also were questioning the basic premise of the diet. However eventually everybody started ...

Review of the movie - Enthiran

-
I rarely watch movies. And definitely I have never thought of reviewing any movie. But something wanted me to review Enthiran. Generally movies contain silly illogical things. Enthiran, being the first of its kind in Tamil, also has silly illogical scenes and dialogues. We should and can easily ignore most of them. Before reading this review, it is better to get to know the plot of the Enthiran. At the face of it: Saloon scene was enjoyable, though scanning the telephone directory just by shaking it twice was a bit unbelievable even as a fantasy. Dialog between Traffic constable and Chitti was good. Chitti surprising vaseegaran by saying he is his creator and hence god was a well thought out scene. Chitti looking like Kali after attracting the weapons was really looking nice. Train sequence was really titillating the eyes, though we should have expected such a sequence in the movie. We have seen such super heroic scenes in the previous Rajni movies and Shankar movies. Only here,...

Why men can't compare two girls seen at different times

-
Assume that a man sees girl 1 on day 1. Let it generate 100 pleasure molecules in amygdala(emotional part of the brain). We do not have exact measuring instruments in brain to register the number 100. An approximate image and descriptions of the girl will be stored in, say, Neuron Group 1(NG1). On day 2, he sees girl 2. Let it generate 90 pleasure molecules in amygdala. Now the man tries to compare girl 2 with girl 1. We have NG1 which projects the approximate image of girl 1. Amygdala may generate 80 molecules for the approximate images of girl 1. And we have Neuron Group 2(NG2) which compares the approximate image of girl 1 and the now present image of girl 2. ( Actually NG2 compares the signals generated by Amygdala for approximate images of girl 1 and the now present images of girl 2) Though, in reality, girl 1 looks more prettier than girl2 for the man, the fact that he could only use the approximate images of girl1 screws up the results of the comp...
