If either your triglycerides is more than 150 mg/dl or your blood
sugar is more than 100 mg/dl, you may have metabolic syndrome (MetS).
A low HDL is also considered in the diagnosis.  Your LDL can be normal
and you still could have MetS.

At 6′, your "ideal" body weight may be 160 lbs so that you might be
actually 40 pounds over "ideal."

This is likely achievable the closer you can get to and maintain your
"ideal" body weight.

Exercise is a good thing provided you don’t sustain an injury.

Losing weight permanently is what can "cure" your MetS.

Would suggest you ask your doctor about the 2PD Approach:

    So did you. So I have no idea what you are talking about. Nevertheless, the
    site does indicate that he is board certified. Whereas you said

    "The AMA tags his status as NOT board certified."

    Which was untrue.

    mudengchung claims to be a board certified cardiologist, the ama tags
    a warning onto that and says he is not.

    Why is this name calling needed? Could you point me to where the AMA tags a
    warning onto his claim of board certification? I don’t believe this is true.

    In any case you said "The AMA tags his status as NOT board certified." which
    was untrue. The site says he is board certified in internal medicine. And as
    far as I can see it does not say that he is not board certified in anything
    else or that he is.

    read the site a little closer.

    it’s not hidden.

    also when the hospitals that were listed where the mudungchung claims
    to have hospital privileges, the hospitals say they do not even know
    who he is let alone that he has any privileges.

    You claimed

    I do not believe that to be correct. And saying read it closer does not help.

    Nice job, Chris. Good to note that it’s your opinions here about his
    useful information (except about nutrition and caloric usage?) and
    that he’s "well respected" in the cardiology newsgroup. As you know,
    not too many hold that same series of opinions.

    And is his Fake FAQ a response to trolls or his religious convictions
    coming out? As for trolling, few are as accomplished as Chung when he
    posts messages for the "convenience" of others across several
    newsgroups with the clear intent to embarrass people. Few troll as
    well as he has with his macro messages repeated scores of times. His
    phony FAQ which he posts and then replies to, praising himself and the
    "anonymous" authors (!) who wrote it. A spamming troll himself is Chung.

    His "sincerely held" religious beliefs are a bludgeon in his unloving
    hands. He tries to use them to insult and demean others.

    Beyond all that, his fakery and persistent error in discussing
    nutritional questions clearly show him to be less than qualified and
    less than honest.

    He has created the setting and the environment for his being
    criticized by his own actions. Your sneering "analysis" is just as
    bizarre and self-serving as Chung’s relentless display of hubris.

    I believe the misspelling is intentional as a means of "hiding" his
    posts from folks in SMC.  

    What he doesn’t seem to realize is that he can’t hide from God.

    He’s also a flipping idiot about diet, which we’ve had cause to observe in
    the diabetes newsgroups in the past. And given his triggering behavior
    towards the trolls, they’re not the only ones who’ve found something to give
    their left hands a night off.

    As if you knew what I think.

    If you did, you wouldn’t be sad.

    You remain in my prayers to God, in Christ’s name.

    May you accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, someday, so

    Truth is simple.

    Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

    Some people hate the truth.

    For this they will remain in my prayers to God, in Christ’s name.

    May they still someday accept Christ as their personal Lord and
    Savior, so that they too will have eternal life and the unimaginable
    riches of His everlasting kingdom.

    Yes, truth is simple if you just label anything you feel an
    "observation" and decide that makes it objectively real. But at this
    point with you blathering about Jesus there’s no difference between
    you and any quack talking about energy auras. You’re off your rocker.

    Are you asserting that a physician who is openly Christian is a "quack
    talking about energy auras" ???

    Just want to make sure you are clearly understood, Dr. Steven B. Harris,

    Regardless of your apparent hatred of Christ, you remain in my prayers,

    Sorry you don’t like the 2PD Approach (shrug).

    Post your address and I promise to send your money back to you.

    Yes, the 2PD Approach has been discussed before in the diabetes
    newsgroups.

    Care to open up the discussion again to see if you fare any better than
    before?

    Nice imagery.

    You will remain in my prayers, neighbor.

    Reality check here, Mr. Chung is not followed by his critics, he adds
    newsgroups to messages originating in one group and intrudes into those he
    adds.  If he gets critical response it is because he went to groups by
    crossposting at the action of his own hands.  Most of the critical
    reaction is not religious at first, it is when he at first critical
    reaction claims to be a victum because of his religious sig lines, he is
    the one who brings religion into the discussion.  This is often a
    deflection ploy when he wants to avoid the central point of a message
    where he comes out seond best.  Then his forced use of religion as an now
    absurb excuse for his boorish web behavior becomes the theme.  Some people
    accept him as victum and then react in defense, something on which he
    counts in order to make the deflection ploy work.  Even those who hold
    equally stron religious faith get the same response from him, which makes
    it by definition a lie on his part.  Just to set the record straight.
