my cheolestrol went down

[Susan33]

I started atkins with my total cholesterol at 230, after being on atkins for nine weeks, my cholesterol is down to 198. My bad cholesterol and triglycerides have come down too.

Before starting atkins, my doctor was threatening to put me on medication for high cholesterol because of me being insulin resistant, now he says, that as long as I keep lowering my cholesterol through diet, he won't prescribe medicine just test every 3 months to make sure I keep it under control and it keeps going down.

I am so happy, cause I take enough medicine due to the insulin resistance. Didn't want to add another pill.

good for you and as you continue your Atkins WOE you are going to find that your insulin resistance will gfet better too.

Make sure you are doing the exercise part of your Atkins to as that wuill help raise the HDL good cholesterol levels and that will help lower the LDL bad cholesterol levels too.
