I had my cholesterol levels drawn the month before i started low carbing- and just now, a year later


My dr who could not support me in doing Atkins was very pleased with the changes!


A year ago -prior to low carbing
my cholesterol was 184
Triglicerides 79
HDL 51
LDL 117
Chol/HDL ratio 3.6

THis month after 1 year low carbing
cholesterol 218
Triglycerides 53 !!!!!!
HDL 86 !!!!!!
LDL 121
Chol/HDL ratio 2.5 !!!!!!!

This means so much to me mostly because my DH has been watching me eat high fat /low carb for a year. He always scoffs at me when he see's me with the mayo or the dressing or the butter. This is my proof that it's ok and actually good for me. I've actually gone up a level of protection because my HDL went up so high! YAY

Also, my blood pressure at this physical was 100/65 down from 135/ 85 and i've always had a problem with high heart rate, and that was normal now.

I had lost 25 lbs in the year prior to low carbing, then i lost 26 lbs in this last year low carbing . I have about 10 lbs to my goal.
Thanks for listening - this support means a lot to me.
