Help needed with cholesterol results
Just got my cholesterol results in the mail. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. It says:
Cholesterol - 239
Glucose - 87
Triglycerides - 87
HDL - 45
LDL - 177 (with a note that says this is high)
There was also a handwritten note saying to decrease my saturated fats, increase my exercise and see my primary physician.
Help! I need to go back and see what my Atkins book says. Can anyone give me a quick brief on what they think? I'm not good at reading this stuff. And I don't want some doctor telling me that I am killing myself on Atkins. I was expecting fantastic numbers and I'm guessing from the results that they are not.
I need some advice...................
Should I be worried? Before starting LCing (last feburary) my cholesterol was 202. I need you experts to tell me what you think.
Thanks!
Kathy
