Frankly TomJackson, I just don't believe you. What was your cholesterol readings on December 26th, the day before you started on Atkins? You didn't give a baseline date.

My triglycerides plunged 57% from 217 to 92 in only 4 months on Atkins and my HDL skyrocked 57% from 35 to 55. I lost 40 pounds and my blood pressure dropped back to normal. I feel awesome.

If you really are serious, and I am very suspicious that you are not, follow the Atkins' diet to the letter for several months.
