Triglycerides and HDL: one ratio instead of total cholesterol
Divide triglycerides by HDL. Less than 1 — excellent, more than 3 — poor, regardless of total cholesterol. Why this ratio shows particle size and actual risk, and what drives it.

The liver is the only organ that processes fructose, and it stores the excess in itself. One in four adults has fatty liver without symptoms. How to suspect what is causing it and why it recovers in 2-4 months.
5,7-6,4% — prediabetes, and half of people develop diabetes within 5-10 years. This is the last moment when everything can be reversed through food. Ranges, what the number means, a three-month plan, and when to retest.
A sensor on your arm, a graph on your phone. Oatmeal — a peak of 9, omelet — 6. Poor sleep — morning levels higher by one unit. A walk after eating — the peak cut by a third. What it shows and how to read it without panic.
Five questions, one takeaway, one item for the week. Not “become better,” but “remove cookies from the office.” How to do it, what to look at, and why five items are worse than one.
Salt water, light, movement, the first meal on schedule — one sequence, and by 10 a.m. the day is already running on the Method. Morning is the only time when willpower is still available; wasting it on “what to eat” is a luxury.
Not calories and not scales for salad — what and when. Three days a week, including one day off. One week of journaling finds the cause of a plateau more often than a month of guesswork.
A vacation, an illness, three months of “not now.” Returning breaks down when you try to start perfectly and step on the scales on day one. What to do instead: one anchor, a week without scales, and why the second time is faster.
Physical hunger builds slowly and will accept any food. Emotional hunger comes suddenly, craves something sweet, and ends in shame. How to tell the difference in a minute, what to do instead, and when you need a specialist.
Ate cake — “the day is ruined” — pizza in the evening — “the week is lost” — until Monday. A cognitive distortion with a name that turns 300 kcal into 5,000. How to catch it.
The first two weeks are carried by novelty and lost water. The third is a slump for everyone. 70% quit here. What replaces motivation, and why desire comes after action, not before.
Willpower is finite and spent on everything: by 20:00, no one has any left. “Strong” people simply rely on it less often — they don’t keep cookies at home. What to build instead.
