I have just joined this forum hoping someone will give me some tips to get my cholestrol down. I started low-carbing about three years ago, but this year have been slack and half my lost weight has gone on again.

Had cholestrol tests done this week and they are higher than they have ever been - doctor is threatening medication and made lots of unhelpful diet suggestions like having only a tiny portion of protein each day and eating lots of bread. I definitely don't want to do that so have started on strict Atkins again, but am wondering if the fat is the cause or if one of the other plans is better?

Has anyone any suggestions, or had this experience?

One thing for certain I am not increasing carbs for anyone!!

Thanks

Caroline
