Hiya All;
Just back from a doctor appointment:
Well...when I began Atkins my cholesterol was 185...and had been for the previous FIVE years in a row...tested every year.
NOW, tested after only 30 days on Atkins, my cholesterol is....DRUM ROLL..... 162. A DROP of 23 points! INCREDIBLE!!!
I don't remember my HDL and LDL numbers...but Doc said they were Just AWESOME!
I restarted my BP meds this morning as I was BLOWING up with water, and will lose them again in maybe 20 pounds more loss.
SO: First 30 days on ATKINS:
Lost 17 pounds
2" from Waist
2" from chest
1/2" from neck
and Lowered cholesterol 23 points to 162!
Now...to get losing again and reverse the water gain, which should ALL be gone in a day or two!
Damn...How SWEET it is!
Best to all;
Jake

Jake,
That is way cool. I have my 19 year old son on Atkins for last 5 weeks because his Cholesterol was 295 and Triglycerides were 565. Doc put him on Triclor, and I took hom OFF. He is going for a Lipid profile in September and I am really excited for him! He has lost 22 lbs so far.
Farfreekin out man!

I'd like to get mine checked, but I'm still too embarrassed to go and let him see how big I let myself get.

You go boy! :Party:
My BP before starting Atkins was 144/94. When I had it checked at the dentists office one week ago it was 117/77. How's THAT for an improvement. :)
The "experts" only need look to us to prove wrong all of the BP and cholesterol myths.
We rock!
