:08:01
your kidney function,
your liver function.
:08:03
They were all perfect.
:08:04
Your triglycerides, which is
your building blocks of fat --
:08:08
basically, what you acquire
from eating fat --
:08:11
is 43, which is low,
which is good.
:08:14
Your general health,
you know...is outstanding.
:08:18
Your urinalysis is great.
:08:20
So, you're
starting off terrific.
:08:23
I think
the worst-case scenario
:08:24
is that you increase
your triglycerides
:08:27
and your cholesterol level,
:08:28
and if you have any he
art disease in the family --
:08:31
underlying heart disease --
:08:33
you're putting
your heart at risk.
:08:35
I expect to see an increase
in your triglycerides,
:08:38
because
that can be affected.
:08:40
You're at 87 now,
and I think that will change.
:08:44
I think that's the only thing
that will change.
:08:46
Out of everything?
:08:47
Out of everything.
:08:48
There might be
some minor variations,
:08:51
but the body
is extremely adaptable,
:08:53
and the kidneys will handle
any extra salt you're taking in,
:08:56
and your liver will be able
to metabolize additional fats.
:08:59
As far as you gaining weight,
you probably will.
:09:03
As far as your cholesterol
going up, it probably will.
:09:07
As far as you
feeling miserable, may be.
:09:11
I don't know.
:09:12
Unless you start cheating
and just order the salads.
:09:16
I also went to a fancy
new York wellness center
:09:18
to meet a registered dietician
:09:19
who would help
track my progress.
:09:21
Okay, let's start with
getting your height and weight.
:09:24
Im 6'2".
:09:25
I weight about 185.
:09:28
For your height,
this is a healthy weight.
:09:30
I can tell you that
right now.
:09:32
Your BMI,
which is the body mass index,
:09:34
is within normal limits,
which means you're not obese.
:09:36
You're actually
at the correct weight.
:09:38
So, I should keep a checklist
of the things that I eat
:09:41
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
:09:43
Your calorie needs
are gonna be averaging
:09:45
about 2,500 calories a day.
:09:47
As far as fat goes,
for 2,500 calories,
:09:49
you're gonna want about
80 grams of total fat in a day.
:09:52
The saturated fat, which is
a component of total fat,
:09:56
you want to have
less than 25 grams a day.
:09:58
Don't try to overindulge
too much.
