Went to our health and wellness day at school yesterday and got myself tested for body fat, BP, cholesterol, blood sugar. Here are the results.

Body Fat: 32.6% (4 point caliper)
Body Fat2: 27.8% - with a digital tool you grip.

Cholesterol: 225 (I've never had it taken before so who knows)
Glucose: 79
BP: 110/80

Anyway - the girl doing to cholestrol was a nutritionist and immediately started saying how bad Atkin's is for me and that's why cholesterol is so high etc. She was real downer and said all low carbs are for short term use only for the morbidly obese.

Really ticked me off - even when I told her - that I'm exercising, eating better and have gotten rid of daily acid reflux. There's this perception that low carbers are eating nothing but pork rinds and ground beef when basically we're eating just the same just without the carbs.

The only thing she could emphasize is that we need carbs for fiber and energy - I guess she's never heard of brocolli.

UGH! It just frustrates me everytime someone starts bashing my eating habits.
