I'm the person who treats the dorm microwave like a science lab and a $4 rotisserie chicken like a retirement plan. My meals have been pretty repetitive: eggs, lentils, tuna packets, Greek yogurt from the big tub, and whatever frozen vegetables are on sale.
I got routine bloodwork done for a school physical, mostly expecting a lecture.
Instead, my fasting glucose and triglycerides were lower than last year, and my A1c moved in the direction I wanted. I'm not claiming lentils cured me or anything. I just thought I was white-knuckling through on cheap food, and apparently some of it actually counted.
The scale has ben slow and rude, but this was a nice quiet receipt. Anyone else had labs shift before the mirror caught up?
