Anabolic diet not working for me.

Hey mate. I don't know if I'd worry about high cholesterol. Bear in mind it's still lower than the upper range. I'd only worry if the LDL (bad) was high and the HDL (good) was low. Higher LDL and lower HDL are associated with cardiovascular disease. Do some reading regarding the function of cholesterol. I think you'll find it's not the bad thing it's made out to be. For instance, cholesterol is an important precursor molecule for the synthesis of the steroid hormones, including the adrenal gland hormones cortisol and aldosterone as well as the sex hormones progesterone, estrogens, and testosterone, and their derivatives (ripped off from wikipedia).

If it really concerns you, try incorporating more monounsaturated fats into your diet which are proven to lower harmful blood cholesterol levels. Olive oil, avocado oil/avocados, almond oil/raw almonds - all very high in monounsaturated fat and low in polyunsaturated fat.

estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) - tests kidney function ...

probably doesn't make you feel any better :grin: - test result would be influenced by creatine supplementation so not really a concern :wink:
