In June before I started Atkins the blood work from my physical showed that I had a raised liver enzyme level. My doctor told me not to worry that it was probably just from the flu bug that I had the week before. She said that it would be ok for me to start Atkins and to come back in November to be tested again. In November, the liver enzyme level was normal and my cholesterol level was down fifteen points. I wouldn't worry to much about it.
