For those interested in this topic I used this relatively cheap Lipid Panel Test Kit from Amazon.
Now for my rant/review; I got 1 kit done for before starting a keto regimen, and 1 for after. I had a bit of saturated fats and also a few too many keto snacks and cauliflower (carb substitute hacks).
Total Cholesterol: 205 , 235
Triglycerides: 64.9, 119
HDL-C: 38 (low), 58
LDL-C: 153, 153
TC/HDL-C Ratio: 5.4 (high), 4.1
The results were good, besides elevated triglycerides which is a strong indicator a person isn't adapting well to the diet (1/4 of humans dont). The level it rose to is still in the "optimal" zone at 'under 150' so we'll see where we are at as I only recently went back to stricter/cleaner keto. Will test again in June.
Cheers!
How accurate are these home blood tests (http://www.amazon.com/Best-Home-Cholesterol-Test-Triglycerides/dp/B00CA8LW5M) In my state you can't get bloods by walking to a private lab, and these seem to have good reviews. Wondered if anyone has tried them.
