  • Cholesterol down 20 points!

    Hi everyone! I last had my cholesteral checked one year ago. it was 212. My doctor put me on a low fat/protein higher carb diet and all i did was gain weight(25 pounds ontop of the 70 I was already overweight by). 6 weeks ago i started atkins. the other day I had my cholesterol checked and it was 192. I am so happy! I can't wait to see how much farther it gets reduced. The only bad thing in my labs was my potassium level, it was really low, which explains the sudden lack of energy. I will have it monitored and have started on prescription potassium supplements from the doctor. Just wanted to share the news! Have a great day everyone!

    Wow ... fantastic news! How were your HDL levels, if you don't mind me asking?

      not sure what my levels were, only the total number. they just left a message on my phone. I'll check my cholesterol differential values next time I stop in at work.

        That is super duper news. It is always so GREAT to hear that Atkins works not just for weight but also for health. You certainly proved that. Way to go!!!!
