Here's an update. Cholesterol is WAY DOWN. I've been following Atkins for a couple years. At first cholesterol went way up and my doctor called it a crazy diet and told me to stop it. I did not and stayed on Atkins.

Now look at my latest blood test:

DEC 2017

Total 247

Triglycerides 147

HDL 64

VLDL 29 calculated

LDL 154 calculated



In Jan 2016 it was:



Total : 341

Trigyclerides 215

HDL 79

LDL 219


Now my doctor doesn't say anything about Atkins, good or bad. But you can't deny these numbers. And would you believe it, his advice is: to limit saturated fat, limit red meat, and eat more grains. HA ! I told him I have bacon, sausage and eggs every morning and steak three times a week. HA !
