Ready to feel good about myself

[WillyNilly]

Hello,

I did Atkins years ago and it worked really well for my husband and I did ok. We're both going to start Atkins again and we are getting excited. I remember I read the book a long time ago and on the subject of cholesterol. I think it said that don't have to worry about eating a bunch of fat because the carbs aren't there so it won't raise your cholesterol. Do you guys think this is true? I'm just a little concerned because my cholesterol is 212 and I don't want to make it worse but the way I'm eating right now isn't too great either.

I think that I have a good frame of mind this time and I will do really well. Wish me luck! (Hubby will do great so he doesn't need any luck!) Good luck to everyone else also! (I've never seen a drinking smiley face-This is hilarious!)

Make sure you read the book again.

It may be true. What often happens is that hdl goes up and cancels out the ldl that also increases.
remember that exercise is one good way to help control colesterol
exercise challenges are starting around now

Welcome -- my cholesterol numbers are better today than they have been for 5 years. I've been following Atkins for a little over a year (I'm back after taking a couple months off to discover I needed this way of eating over my lifetime). ou will hear the naysayers but we are all here to attest this plan works and is improving our lives each day.

Good luck to both of you!
