I am in week 14 of my low carb lifestyle conversion. I have lost 26 lbs., and more importantly, my cholesterol has gone from extremely high risk to well below normal levels in the the past 10 weeks. My doctor told me it is due to a combination of medication and my eating plan/weight loss. My high cholesterol is mainly of the genetic variety, so I am very happy that I may not have to have the same health problems that my parents do. The doctor is an Atkins advocate, and encourages me to continue with it. If I wasn't fully convinced of the benefits of a low carb lifestyle before, I certainly am now. I feel great and it is like I got a new lease on life.
