Woohoo! Cholesterol...

April 13, 2006, 10:24 AM

I took one of those home cholesterol tests. Has anyone tried the CholesTrak test? Are they fairly accurate?

I had a doctor do my tests a few months before I started Atkins and my cholesterol was 195 and my other leels were within limits (barely). I took this test today and it only does total cholesterol, but it read 160-165! So if it's accurate, that's great. I love Atkins!

i'm going to repeat it in a few days to see if I get a similar reading. I was so curious how this WOL has impacted me besides the weight loss.

Re: Woohoo! Cholesterol...

great job lowering your cholesterol.

The only problem is you don't know what your good and bad numbers are. Hopefully with all your workouts and good Atkins eating they are in the correct range too.
