Daily Lipid Log:
The "Hybrid" Execution
Consistency is the only metric that matters. Today focused on texture modification ("Tempering") and a hybrid protein approach for vascular recovery.
The "Tempered" Oat Bowl
I used the Tempering Technique this morning. I mixed the Whey Isolate, Greek Yogurt, and Almond Butter into a "slurry" before adding it to the hot oats. It stops the protein from curdling and makes the 26g of fiber go down effortlessly.
30g Raw Walnuts
Non-negotiable. The goal isn't just lowering numbers—it's changing the shape of the particle from small/dense (dangerous) to large/buoyant. The ALA Omega-3s are the primary driver here.
Vascular Recovery Smoothie
A "Hybrid Protocol" lunch. Combined Grass-Fed Whey Isolate (for amino acids) with Soy Milk (for heart health) and 3 cups of spinach.
- Nitrates: Relax arterial walls.
- Anthocyanins: "Anti-rust" for LDL particles.
Atlantic Mackerel (In Olive Oil)
Selected for the "Safety Surplus" (High Selenium vs Mercury). The DHA specifically targets the Idol protein in the liver, keeping LDL receptors active.
42g Almonds
Slowing down gastric emptying before dinner to blunt the evening glucose spike.
"Lipid-Smart" Italian Meatballs
Swapped the usual Turkey bowl for Lean Chicken Meatballs with Glossy Pomodoro. Engineered to minimize sat fat (<3g) while maximizing flavor.
The Almond Shield
Almond flour inside the meatballs adds plant sterols to compete with cholesterol.
Glossy Emulsion
Finished with Graza EVOO & pasta water (no butter) to preserve polyphenols.
Kitchen Closed.
Entering 14-Hour Fast for Lipophagy.
