    My Cholesterol after being on Atkins!

    I had my cholesterol checked in Aug of 2009
    It was 268 and 194. I started Atkins mid Nov 2009 and it has become a way of life for me! I lost 14lbs and feel great! I just had my cholesterol taken again and the results came in today:

    218 and 154!!!! I wanted to laugh in my Dr's face because she said Atkins was not a healthy diet! Whose laughing now??

        LOL! That's great. I haven't had my cholesterol re-check since I started Atkins but I'm pretty sure it's going down, as well as my blood pressure (checked that at the store and it is going down). I WILL laugh in my doctor's face when I see her next.

          im glad you waited 6+ months before geting it tested

          the large healthy fluffly type of LDL that has no health risk spikes during the start of the diet and the small dense bad type of LDL takes like 5 months to filter out of your body cause your HDL recycles your LDL

          so even though your cholestoral is geting better the entire time even during the start of atkins a total cholestoral test will say its horrible so thats why its always important to wait 6 months before geting a test done so even a total cholestoral test will then finally say its good

          or you could just get a full pannel test done and it would show the spike in LDL was all of the good type of LDL so the doctors could not say you had bad cholestoral but they mostly never give out full pannel cholestoral tests cause there system is corrupt
