I eat tons of junk food but I still have good cholesterol
These are my results from Oct2008
HDL 75 (dr even wrote "excellent" next to the result!)
LDL 116 H
Cholesterol 201 H
Also, I am UNDER the average weight for my height, I am NOT overweight.
But I have gone through phases where I ate 1 gallon of ice cream in one day or sometimes 2 days, eaten In N Out cheeseburgers 4x a week, Animal style fries which have loads of calories and tons of cheese and rich creamy sauce... I also eat tons of chips, chocolate. I LOVE cheese, I eat everything cheesy.
I just finished eating a shortbread cookie container which has 32 cookies in like 3 days... on the label it said 2 cookies = 1 serving but I probably ate like 15 cookies in one day...
I haven't even exercised recently whatsoever...
So how come my cholesterol is still low and my HDL is considered good (Dr wrote "EXCELLENT" next to it) and I am at UNDER my ideal weight.
Does it mean that I am just blessed. And I'm not a kid either. I'm 31 and I can still eat that much and not get fat. Am I just blessed?
