Started low-carbing about 5 weeks ago (Adkins, with no attempt to restrict fat). I was a bit afraid of the effects my high fat diet might have on chloresterol and tryglycerides because I have always had to struggle on a low fat diet to keep my readings in line. The best I ever did was 185, but my tryglycerides were still 330. The doctor told me it was hereditary and there was nothing I could do about it considering I was already eating a very low fat diet. Not what I wanted to hear since my Dad lost a leg, and was about to lose another, when he died from heart failure--all due to blocked arteries.
Just had my blood taken and my total chloresterol is now 138 and my tryglycerides are 130! HDL is 58, so I am now half of a half risk factor for heart disease, and I am losing weight.
My husband has heart disease and was afraid to go on this program but after seeing the results I have had, he is going to give it a try. Here's hoping!
