Re: Week of November 26 Atkinites =)

Well Brian.. First of all it was 3 years ago.. You are not getting any younger.. So, for sure your metabolism is not the same as three years ago. Another factor affecting you metabolism is what’s stated in Atkins book, going on and off in loosing weight.

I had been on other weight loss programs and lost close to 18 lbs in 14 days.. but when stopped gained everything back.. and may be couple more.

Just stick with the plan and I am sure you will see wonders..

Hi everyone,


I hope we can keep this thread. It is really helping me. I know that most of you have moved on but I hope you come and chat once in a while.
Well pray for me - Any advise i welcome it. I have been doing my atkins for 10 weeks. I have been struggling. Mostly with cheescake and popcorn. But that is going. Been cheat free for 3 days. Just went to the doctor for my Cholesterol check.

As you can see no more pork skins and rinds for me, no pork at all. Egg beaters only no eggs and no pork or red meat. I have to get this cholesterol down. Pray for me.

Bad news

My total cholesterol went up from 216 to 250

Bad LDL up from 130 to 180

Good ldl down from 39 to 31

My doctor said that I am doing everything right so he doesn’t know why they went up … but no meat now except fish and chicken, no eggs except egg beaters and no pork or beef what so ever.



Good news

I have lost 25 pounds

My Triglycerides went down from 231 – 160 – I am not in the diabetic warning zone anymore

Doctor is still willing to help me with out taking the medicine … but if they don’t come down in 4 months … I am sure he is pretty much going to make me take it.

daione,

What Cholesterol level are you comparing against? I mean when was the last two cholesterol level check performed?

From what I know your cholesterol on Atkins will first go up before they drop to normal levels. But from I read, this should be within about 3 months or so.

As for this thread, you can jump to the Dec 3rd thread if you like to, it is about the same topics and discussions.

I had my cholesterol checked today and it went up from October last checked. So is it true that they will go up before they go down ... if so then good I will keep working.

Yea. This would be less than 2 months, I think 2 months is too short. you may wanna wait for another two months and check again.
