Hello Everyone,

I'm brand new here, confused/upset/angry...you name it. My husband and I have both been on Atkins for 8 months. I've stuck to the induction phase the entire time...religiously. We have both lost 25 pounds. Our blood results just came back for a fasting cholesterol, and neither one of us are happy.

Here the are:

Me

HBA1C 5.3
Sugar 100
Chol 228
Tri 81
HDL 48
LDL 164

Him

HBA1C 4.9
Sugar 104
Chol 259
Tri 79
HDL 58
LDL 185

The worst part about it is that prior to Atkins my total Chol. was 195 and his was 164!!! What's wrong with this picture? The LDL's really have me bothered. Can anyone give us some advice? I don't want to stop the plan because I've never felt better in my life! I don't want to go back to those sugar highs and lows that made me feel so tired.

Any help...please!

Toni
