First Dr. visit since starting LCing

Had my first annual physical since starting Atkins on July 11, 2002. Down 35 lbs. Dr was impressed and very supportive of LCing. When I told her what I was up to she said "yes, it makes a difference !" i.e. LCing. Blood work was good too. Here are the results in from/to format:

Total cholesterol 261/213
HDL 51/60
LDL 180/135
TRIGLYCERIDES 150/92

She also agree to cut my BP medication in half and remove the diuretic. She thinks I'll probably be able to get off the BP meds when I get to goal.

Yee Haw !
