I already understood that ratios are "more" important than TC . This is stated in various articles. However, I'm concerned that even though TC is perhaps "less" important, that it could still be a...

I read through Griff's threads and one of them pointed to this article: Better Know Your Triglyceride/HDL Ratio if You Want to Prevent a Heart Attack

The article indicates that the most important...

Knifegill, why would you be worried about TC above 400? Do you have any articles or studies that say this would be an issue?

Any articles out there that address this type of high cholesterol? (I'm hoping to find some information in the context of primal eating.)

I just got another lipid panel and it seems that my total cholesterol and LDL are on the rise. (last 3 test results below) I went primal in 2011 (between the 1st and 2nd test results).

Did some online research and found that the upper intake amount of Vitamin B3 is 35mg. Based off of the nutrion facts here: Nutrition Facts and Analysis for Beef, variety meats and by-products,...

Electrolytes? Can't find any info online about that. Any helpful links you can pass along?

I've also come across the issue of teeth chipping after switching to a primal diet and have been very concerned. My dentist told me pretty much exactly what Drmike stated.

About two weeks ago a...

For the past year, I've been eating cheap grain-fed beef chuck as my primary source of calories. (maybe 1.5 lbs per day or more on average. I know grass-fed beef is better, but it is just too...

I still can't find anything data for long-term effects.

I'm looking for studies that show long-term effects. When I say long-term, I mean for those that live into their 60's, 70's, 80's.

After my last blood work results from going primal, my doctor was concerned about my high cholesterol and high glucose figures. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread49711.html

I'm going to...

Getting back to the original point of this post. Does anyone know of any data regarding the long-term effects of a primal diet?

Can you site sources of information regarding paleolithic humus who live to older ages with no signs of modern disease? I have not been able to find much.

Yes, I have had blood work done. My blood test results below:
•Cholesterol:243
•Triglyceride:44
•HDL:78
•Low density lipoprotein calculated:156

•Glucose, fasting:103

I'm guessing my body...

I used my grandparents as examples, but I'm primarily trying to address how Asians, as a group, seem to eat unhealthy diets by primal standards and still live long lives.

I'd like to see examples...

Is there a better option? I would say the a potential better option would be a diet that has proven to result in long lives of many people. Thus, I'm wondering if eating a diet like Asians is a...

They both ate rice as a staple of their diet throughout their lives. My grandmother was actually a vegetarian her entire life. It's very different than what I understand a healthy Primal diet to be.

There are many examples of situations where short term benefits are positive but the long term effects are negative. If one were to die before coming across the long term effect, then the long term...

There are examples of certain groups of people that live long lives despite eating lots of the things that are unhealthy according to a primal diet. Take the Asian population for example. Any time...

I've been mostly eating primal for about a year now and it's gone very well. But some questions are still lingering in my mind and I'm really starting to question if I should continue to eat this...

Thanks, Tim_1522. It's hard for me to know what to believe as I'm overwhelmed with information. I'm finding myself going to forums for advise and ignoring doctors. Sounds silly until you start to...

Wow, that is really funny. From this, it sounds like an anorexic patient with high cholesterol would also be advised to cut out animal fats.

For a couple of reasons:

1. I'm under the impression that keeping carbs below 100 grams per day is optimal.
2. I'd like to gain some lean muscle mass so I want to keep my protein intake at 1 - 2...

To be honest, I'm not sure what else I should eat in order to get the calories I need in a day, (2,400 to 2,800 calories/day) Even with eating 1.5 to 2.5 lbs of beef per day, my weight is stable. I...
