I say stupid shit all the time.
I hit over 100% if I do a really strenuous run.

I always like baselines because that way you have a clear starting point.
Get a DEXA scan if you can. I had a BMR and body fat analysis done at Preventous way back in the day when I started and then redone after I lost about 30 lbs.

May be worth while reading 'the cholesterol code' by Jason Fung, a lot of doctors are on old school thinking and need to realize your body produces the cholesterol it requires, instead they just prescribe statins for the rest of your life which have been linked to things like Alzheimer's
As well when you're losing weight, stressed, not being active, etc your negative markers do increase so don't go for blood work in those times
Sig nuked by mod.
did you doctor suggest taking psyllium fiber before each meal? Helps with cholesterol as well as makes your poop soft.
He’s middle aged, it’s mandatory to have fiber at every meal unless you want your shits to last 20 mins.
Yeah, definitely don't want roids.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

My main fitness right now is zwift - HR monitor, and I've been doing the FTP builder training for the last couple of weeks. Zwift is good at keeping my intensity up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Running isn't my thing at the moment, I find it too injury inducing. As for the e-bike that is intended for social reasons - I want to be able to keep up with some of my friends who can climb like lunatics.

Great, do the climbs on eco and in fifth with your friends!
I'm not sure where you can get dexa scan done here. When I checked years ago only the U of C did but I'm sure that's changed now.
I did find this:

I'm about the same size and was wondering why I wasn't shedding weight at 2000 cals/day. Sucks that maintenance is so low. Buffets are a total waste of money now. I do find that my appetite has decreased also with age. If I have a relatively bigger meal for breakfast/lunch I find I'm not all that hungry rest of the day.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Surprised no one brought up IF yet. It's the only 'short cut' to weight loss if there ever was one.
In terms of workouts I like cycling but it consumes more time than calories. Have to ride an hour or two to get a good work out in unless you're doing intervals or a spin class. Fastest way to burn calories is running intervals. Its really good way to increase endurance and cardio too.
fastest is to add resistance. I was fittest when I was doing a lot of olympic lifting and other high intensity shit that involved weights and squatsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Intervals are for fatties. I do HIT - high interval training. 100% HR for 26 mins.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Haven't heard of this before. Is this for cardio or weights? From what I recall interval training is supposed to be 80 to 100% of effort for minute or so bursts. Effort and HR are different but if you can run or train at a certain pace for half a hour its not gonna be near max effort...unless you are in crazy great shape. Isn't that just endurance training?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
HIIT was meant as an easy way for fat slobs to do a workout and keep it interesting. After a while you will outgrow it and actually have to do things like try to keep that HR way up for extended periods.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This is the way. Strong resistance training, with reasonable functional cardio work. No need to blow your brains out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Your posts make me think you have a distorted view of fitness or, have taken a really difficult path in finding it. I don't mean that insultingly, end of the day whatever works for you works. Some of your posts though, like this one and the 100% HR for 26 minutes both baffle and terrify me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Isn't Bean Salad that delicious thing in a jar that's full of oil & vinegar? That doesn't strike me as an ideal food, but I'm no Dr. Atkins.
I used to work with a healthy guy who was obsessed with pH balance. He felt that normal diets were full of acid so he ate a few odd things that were supposed to counter that. He was a chill guy.

Believe me, after you've cardio trained for months and months it gets easier and easier and easier. It helps that I'm not a giant pile of blubber.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also strength training greatly increases your cardio capabilities. The only thing that let me run faster was squats.
And I'm not even close to being awesome. I have friends my age that can run, bike and swim way faster for way longer.
Ahh thanks for this. My brother in law brought this over to my house one day and I forgot to ask him what it was called. Good shit.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You could be ok and potentially this is more related to a blood sugar, glucose issue and maybe resolved with intermittent fasting or a method that doesn't directly target cholesterol but in a round about way it'll help it all.
