    Very high triglycerides

    I just had my annual physical yesterday, and my doctor called with the results. My cholesterol is fine -- in fact the ratio of good to bad has changed for the better.

    However, my triglycerides (fat in blood) are out of control, according to him. A year ago, they were 91, now they're 239!! He said anything over 100 is not healthy. Yikes!

    Should I be concerned, or is this normal with Atkins?

      No they should fall on Atkins.
      Did you fast before the test?

          Yes, I fasted before the test. I'm getting worried.

          My weight loss has been really slow too -- 6 wks on Extended Induction, and only down about 7 lbs -- actually closer to 6, because I gained a pound between yesterday & today. That keeps happening, even though I'm eating the same things and still definitely in ketosis.

          I read somewhere that a small percentage of people are 'fat sensitive' or something like that -- had to do with a lawsuit someone brought against Atkins. How do I know if I'm one of those people? I feel like I need advice from a doctor with a lot of experience with Atkins.

                      I agree...not only are they not THAT high, that just doesn't sound right, and I'd check them again before I got too worried.
