I am not a medical professional but I can tell you what happened to me.

BEFORE ATKINS
140/90 blood pressure
200 cholesterol
246 triglycerides

AFTER ONLY FOUR MONTHS ON ATKINS
110/78 blood pressure
158 cholesterol
87 triglycerides

Every person is different, but I would agree with what a few others have said; get a second opinion.
