Hubby's blood work looks, good too!

My DH just had his physical and because of his strong family history of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes, our doctor ran some very thorough blood work, including a blood MRI. I don't know where he was when he started as he rarely goes to the doctor, but as of today after 5 months of low carb his cardiac profile looks like this:

Total Cholesterol: 193
HDL: 48
LDL: 138
Triglycerides: 87

For someone with as strong a family history as his (several aunts and uncles with triple and quadruple bypasses, both parents with hypertension and diabetes, dad had 2 heart attacks), these numbers are GREAT!

All other tests (electrolytes, liver and kidney function) were also normal. BP was 105/70 and he's lost a total of 33 lbs. Needless to say, doc is very pleased and so am I!
