I had my bloodwork done just before I started Atkins in mid-February 03 and although my doctor isn't thrilled I'm doing Atkins, I promised her I would have my bloodwork done again in mid-June. I started eating eggs almost every day for breakfast and I although I do have high cholesterol I'm going to just wait and see what the results are in June. I'll be sure to post them in the Atkins thread. I'm losing weight, my blood sugar has been practically cut in half since I started Atkins and is now in the normal range, and I feel great. I'm not worried about the eggs! I guess I'm just trying to trust Atkins' philosophy for now. But if the cholesterol is higher in June, then of course I'll take notice, but I also think that once I've lost the weight I can tackle this other issue if it still exists. Many studies have shown that this WOL actually reduces cholesterol. Not necessarily significantly so, but your triglycerides (the most important number to pay attention to since it is the worst/evilest part of cholesterol)will go down as you lose weight because I believe this number is somehow connected to our excess body weight.
