On 6/28 it was 203 and on 9/27 it was 171. Total cholesterol isn't that important as HDL and LDL and Triglycerides I know. Last time I was on Atkins my total cholesterol went from 210 to 161 in three months. I need a fasting cbc to tell me more though, but it's weird that it always goes down whenever I am on Atkins.
