Re: Family Support?
It is possible that your wife subscribes to the mainstream dogma that fatty diet=heart trouble. In that case, she may be terrified that you are eating yourself into a heart attack.
If you haven't done so, get some blood work done to measure your cholesterol and triglycerides. Have the tests repeated after you have been on Atkins for 3 months. You should see some improvement. If the LDL measurement goes up, and if your triglycerides are under 100, the calculated value is probably erroneous, and ask that the LDL be measured directly. Also, check out Ziggy's posts on the difference between large fluffy LDL and small dense LDL.
