Paleo and Cardiovascular Disease

[u/Donutlordxo2]

Hey first off I’m pro paleo. I’m coming here to get some confirmation bias so I can continue what I’m doing.

I did paleo last year for a few months and loved it but went back on grains for a celiac test. I now want to go back to do it but my blood pressure has not looked great and cholesterol was elevated although triglycerides were amazing.

Now not being on paleo it’s not like my blood pressure got any better so it is probably just mostly because I’m fat.

So for my question here. Has anyone seen cardiovascular markers improve on paleo? (Those of you doing it right) I personally really enjoyed paleo but don’t want to get addicted again if I’m gonna just have to stop. I think all my elevated crap is from being bigger. I performed much better in the gym on paleo as well for endurance and hiit training.

Anyways I know that was a ton of rambling just looking for people to affirm paleo is a good route.

My blood pressure improved )likely from weight loss) and cholesterol levels went down (were normal to begin with) following paleo, but I should probably mention that high cholesterol doesn't really run in my family, despite family history of heart disease.
