Cholesterol down to 3.5 from 5.2
 
Well.. I went to have my 3 month blood work up and went to see my doctor yesterday. This is the Doctor that asked me to go onto Atkins for my diabetes and weight 3 months ago. He was very very happy that I took his advice (and so am I). Actually... he was asking me so many question about the Woe.. how I feel, how my moods are, he knows i'm doing it in a healthy way with lots of veges and real food too. He told me yesterday he actually followed the plan himself just to see what it was like for himself. What a great doctor, how lucky am I to have found him.

The results...

Weight loss..... 25 pounds (down fronm 3 months ago)

Blood pressure 125 over 70.... perfect (and down from 3 months ago)

Total Cholesterol 3.5.... perfect (and down from 3 months ago)
Triglycerides 1.0
HDL Cholesterol 1.0
LDL Cholesterol 2.0

My blood sugar is still a just touch above what he would like, but has more than halved, so very happy with that.

Good to hear you found a doctor who is supporting you in your battle to get the diabetes under control. good work on the weight lose. Keep it up.

Congratulations! Later this month I will see my doctor for the first time since starting this, and I have no idea if she'll be supportive. I did see her briefly in January, but didn't mention the change in eating -- just got the forms to go have blood work done, which I finally got around to last week. My numbers aren't great, but they aren't awful, either -- unfortunately, I don't know what they were in December!

It's encouraging to know that there are doctors who are supportive. At least I'll be able to show a weight loss, which should make her happy.

That's terrific Luscious!

My doctor is supportive as well, so they are out there. I may have been helped out because her nurse is following the WOL and having great success (and extolling the virtues to the whole office :lol: ).

Good luck with your doctor Marie.

Rocky
