Default Anyone get a favorable review from your doctor lately?

I should be a test case.

At the end of last year when I went for a regular checkup with my doctor, I had been on a 10 year kick of eating tons of carbs and sugar. Consequently, I had been overweight, and also suffered from extremely high tri-glycerides.

Not any more.

My doctor was astounded. He told me that after only 2 and a half months on atkins, my blood pressure had dropped dramatically, going down 20 points on both the top number and the bottom number.

This coming tuesday I go back to get some bloodwork done. The doc is very intrigued to see how that comes out.

For what it's worth, he has been in the pro-atkins camp for quite a while now.
