swtdrae,

I had some blood work done last September for a Lyme disease check. The results weren't good. My triglyceride level (a measure of fat in your blood) was 827. It's supposed to be under 150. My total cholesterol was 328. It should be under 200.

This past May I bought Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and decided to give it a try. I just had my bloodwork redone and the results were staggering. My triglyceride level has dropped to 65 and my total cholesterol has dropped to 188. I eat butter, eggs, and red meat (lots of it)and sausage every darn day. Dr. Atkins said in his book that I'd be healthier eating this way and the results speak for themselves. That man was truly a genius. It's too bad he was looked upon as a quack for so many years.

Don't be afraid. It works.
