I've been on Atkins for just over 3 months now. I would like to get my cholesterol and iron levels checked but I don't know what test to ask for? Actually, a full workup would be better. Is there some standard blood test that I should ask for? Also, I think DANDR mentions that you might see a cholesterol spike when you first start this WOE and then it will start decreasing. Is 3 months long enough to wait before getting an accurate reading? Thanks in advance!
