Triglycerides...I Need Advice..Please Read
Hi everyone,
I posted this in another part of the forums, but someone suggested I put it here so I could get more advice. I posted this yesterday but it seems to have disappeared...So, here I go again.....
I got my blood work done 1 month b4 I started Atkins...Choestrol was 364 and Triglycerides were around 600. (I am predisposed to high TG's n cholestrol..Doctor said I could starve myself to death and they'd still be high. I've tried more cholestrol pills than I can post about) 3 month after atkins, I had them rechecked. Cholestrol 260, TG's 980....I had them checked again Sept. 23 after 3 more months on atkins.....Here is the latest result...
Cholestrol 254
HDL 22
LDL wouldn't register because TG's were so high
Triglycerides 2,609 (no, this isn't a typo)
Blood Sugar 102
The doctor told me this time "Get off Atkins, it's too much fat" I REALLY DO NOT wanna stop Atkins. It's the only diet I've ever had any success with. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm only 26, so I shouldn't be having these problems. I'm on a new cholestrol pill now called "Crestor" and I'm goin back in 2 weeks for a recheck. I also have an appt. with and Endrocrinologist on Nov. 18 to see what is goin on. (I also have Polycystic Ovaries) My reg. doctor seems to think he might be able to help w/ lipids as well as weight loss. I sure hope something does cuz I REALLY don't wanna change my diet. Has anyone else done a low fat version of Atkins w/ any success? Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
DD
