Update On My Son's Cholesterol
I just wanted to post an update on his latest cholesterol numbers. I will need to request copies of his labwork from the Dermatologist, but I just talked to my husband.....his triglycerides have dropped 100 points in 2 months, and his HDL has gone up (it went up 30 points the first month on low carb, not sure of the total increase overall), and LDL is down. Again - I don't get to go to the appointments since I am at work - but how INCREDIBLE!!! It just proves without a shadow of a doubt that this WOE is the way our bodies were intended to eat.
Also - My husband has joined in eating low carb He has surpassed my weight loss - He does gloat a little bit - I am stuck/stalled, but I know that I am eating right for my body, so I am not terribly upset.
Anyhow - I just wanted to post that the Accutane is not contributing to my son's high cholesterol, and that through low carb, his cholesterol numbers are completely turned around I will update if I can get the "actual" numbers from the labwork also...
His complexion is also improved, though not 100%, but much better.
