I recently did a medical check, and got my biometrics (following a different protocol), it's made me very curious . I'd like to see what PBF metrics look like after 6+ months. Would you be willing to share your metrics?

Things I'd love to see, if your feeling generous enough to share

hba1c
fasting insulin
lipid panel
blood pressure

As somebody who had been vegetarian for 30 years and now vegan for 3+ more. Iron and hemoglobin have never been a problem. Neither has B12 or vitD. What matters more (assuming you eat a well planned diet) is calories and activity level. There are times in my 35 years of veggie/vegan where BP has been way too high...it was directly related to weight and exercise.

I had 145/95 a few years back from being lazy and 15lbs overweight, got it back to 120/80 with daily walks and avoiding empty calorie stuff like Jelly Tots.

What are Jelly Tots?

Thanks for sharing! The only issue I've ever had was D3 but that is from working inside.

Only a super delicious soft candy with no gelatin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowntree%27s#Current_branded_products

Those look awesome

They are, and while they look likely generic chewy candy, after trying them you realize north American knock offs have terrible flavours
