-->>Christmas Challenge!<<--

[kimmee13]

Bad news.. just got my cholesterol results from my last physical.. 5 years ago (last time they checked it) it was 147 total (wonderful).. this time it's 239 O.O
So now my doctor wants me to go on a low fat diet for 6 months and have it rechecked to see if it's diet related or genetic, so now I need to figure out if I wait and keep doing Atkin's (staying to mostly chicken as opposed to beef and pork) or switch to low fat like she wants me to do. It's hard not having had a chcek in so long, I have a feeling it was even worse before I started Atkin's (with all the fried foods and burgers I used to eat) and is still going down, but with the old numbers, I have no proof. So I geuss I have somethinking to do and may have to take leave of the Atkin's diet. >.&lt; Sorry about the rant, and this is probably not where I should post it, but just a heads up I may have to bow out of the challenge.

Can you cut down on the fats a little and have it rechecked in 2 weeks? That way you would know which direction it is going ??

Way to Lose Lav! See, it is your dreams comming true &amp; clean living! You are gonna do it my girl! Wooooooooo Hooooooooo!

[Elmark]

I'm sorry...I have to disagree with you guys...

KIMMIEE....how long have you been doing Atkins????
In the beginning of doing Atkins, the cholesterol goes up, until your body has time to adjust it. This takes several months. Dr. Atkins recommended not having it checked for the first 6 months of doing Atkins.

You body is very clever, if you cut down on you cholesterol intake, it will produce more itself, but if you eat plenty of the good fats, then your body won't have to produce it itself, and then you'll be in charge of you cholesterol numbers. So don't cut down on fat, but eat the good fats...

[Elmark]

Another pound lost...and 55 to go....(hint hint Mystique)...
TOM is here....so 1 pound is very well done, I think....!

I'm gonna have to look at Homer now....I can't wait to see him...
