I'm also intermittent fasting, with a 5-hour window. Best thing yet to keep me from consuming alcohol, because my window is usually closed by the time I feel like drinking :)
I didn't know it was so easy to check the levels of these things. I'll have to google it someday. Not that I worry :)
Good to hear! Those are the same changes I am making. Mostly avoiding sugar and grains, exercising more, and intermittent fasting. I don't get check-ups or have bloodwork done, but I am seeing changes in body composition, energy levels, and mental acuity, and am hoping to see more. It is definitely a lifestyle I can live with.
I have long held that the triglycerides ratio you cite is way more important. I agree with intermittent fasting but it’s difficult for me to manage. I try but. I still think everything in moderation is key.

That's awesome! Those changes are at least as important as the measurable ratios.
I started intermittent fasting, too, a few years ago. It's been good for me; I really do feel better, physically.
I also occasionally "eat the crap out of" birthday cakes and its kin :-D
You have to, right?

Yes. If you make it impossibly hard, then you just won't do it.
