  • Cholesterol #'s drop?

    Has anyone had there cholesterol levels drop significantly since being on Atkins?
    I had my blood work done, when I first started (3/19/07).
    Total chol was 305.
    HDL = 56
    LDL = 190
    Tri = 294
    Although my Dr. is pro Atkins, he feels that it will never drop to 200 by doing atkins alone.

    I saw big results... I had my blood work done on Feb 2nd. My LDL has gone way down from almost 300 to 100!!!
    My HDL is at 60 - I don't remember what it was before...
    My triglicerides went from 285 to 75!!!!
    That's proof enough for me that Atkins is heart healthy!!
