Here is how the conversation went with our financial adviser:
Adviser: Michael they found something in your blood.
Me: What is it?
Adviser: Elevated Triglycerides which may lead to coronary heart disease, diabetes and hypertension.
Michael: What??!?!?I will show them next year when I take the exam again.
So basically unless michael gets his act together we will have to pay an extra $400 for his life insurance because he is a five.
So we searched what it means to have high Triglycerides and the things one can do to help it, it is as follows:
- If you're overweight, cut down on calories to reach your ideal body weight. This includes all sources of calories, from fats, proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol.
- Reduce the saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol content of your diet. (michael loves eggs)
- Reduce your intake of alcohol considerably. Even small amounts of alcohol can lead to large changes in plasma triglyceride levels. (Michael loves miller lite)
- Be physically active for at least 30 minutes on most or all days each week. (Does not work out at all)
- People with high triglycerides may need to substitute monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats —such as those found in canola oil, olive oil or liquid margarine — for saturated fats. Substituting carbohydrates for fats may raise triglyceride levels and may decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol in some people.
- Substitute fish high in omega-3 fatty acids instead of meats high in saturated fat like hamburger. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in omega-3 fatty acids. (Michael loves burgers)

He is what I would refer to as "Skinny Fat." Skinny Fat, you ask, what do you mean? Well, like there are people who are like "Bananas: someone yellow on the outside but white on the inside" a "Skinny Fat" is someone who may appear to be skinny on the outside but when a closer look is taken michael's inside is actually of someone who weighs 467 lbs.
Oh Michael, that is the worst timing...I'm making my killer guinness steaks. Does it help that the meat is lean? My burgers will also be 90% lean but amazing with my mix.
Otherwise, I have a Dr. Praeger's Veggie Burger with your name on it. I'll make sure to give you a lemon for some flavor. Sucks, man.
Oh yeah, May, that means extra guinness steak for you!
wow... may you should increase michael's death benefit on the life insurance...

Lin, i wish i could, but that would cost too much, because he already is a five.
