Here's another update to this round of testing. I saw my drug dealer, he ordered the CAC score. Regardless of the results, my path is clear, much as I explained above. I'm centered on the goal of a 26 BMI. That means that I will be harder on myself than I have been, eliminating many things after I am done with my current supply. My general goal is to really get down to beef (steak or burger), crab, salmon, tallow, butter, eggs, salt, water, and coffee. I may still occasionally have milk or cheese. Generally, pork scares me right now. Not happy with what they are allowed (or even encouraged) to do to pigs and not have to even label it as being done. If I can find a trusted source of pork, I'd be more open to it. I'm going to eliminate cured meats, already was planning this. Before I was OK with slowly bringing my weight down, provided all else was going ok. Now that changed.
My wife asked for clarification on what I was going to be eating now, so I sent her my preferences in 2 lists (what I would eat, if she cooked it, and what I might eat occasionally but was generally trying to avoid.) We agreed that she probably wouldn't cook for me much anymore, and I am fine with that - but it is really hard, because feeding people is very important to her, kind of her love language or how she feels valued. I'm slowly trying to get her to eat more meat, eventually get her to keto or something. She loves her rice and pasta and potatoes and sides and alcohol and veggies. If I can get her to cut back on everything but the veggies, maybe there is hope for her, but it won't happen overnight, regardless of what I am able to accomplish for myself.
I'll update again when I've got the CAC score, but my journey is far from over. I won't be satisfied until I get flip that cholesterol pattern B to a pattern A. That is my next mountain to climb, and the only way I believe I can get there is to loose the weight, and that means fighting harder against the sugar demons.
Wish me well on this leg of my journey.
